Abstract

The article represents the primary outcome of studies of emotional burnout expression and development of Siberian railway locomotive engineers of various age groups and work experience. Most attention is drawn to the preservation problem of their health and stable working capacity that influence railroad-traffic safety. The information about absence of distinct connection between symptoms of emotional burnout and work experience became available. The materials of the studies allow verifying the existing in literature statement about the nature of emotional burnout and also bring out scientific discussion about influence of age and personal traits of specialists in various areas on emotional burnout expression. The results of the studies can be applied in comparative analysis of emotional burnout among representatives of related or other professions.
