Burnout
Every factor researchers have brought together to explain burnout, combined from 5 study models into one ranked driver set — the model the priority engine reasons over.
16 drivers · 5 contributing models · Handbook entry →
§1The drivers, by consensus
Ranked by how many independent models include each driver (consensus), then pooled effect. “In N of 5” is a robustness signal — a driver in many models is one many researchers agreed matters; a driver in one is a single lead worth following.
| Driver | Consensus | Pooled r | Grade | Heterogeneity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neuroticism | 1 / 5 | +0.64 | A | — |
| Thriving | 1 / 5 | −0.53 | A | — |
| Autonomy | 1 / 5 | −0.47 | A | I²≈0.96 |
| Employee Well Being | 1 / 5 | −0.45 | C | — |
| Need Satisfaction | 1 / 5 | −0.43 | A | — |
| Work Family Conflict | 1 / 5 | +0.38 | A | — |
| Work Interference With Family Wif | 1 / 5 | +0.38 | B | — |
| Conscientiousness | 1 / 5 | +0.35 | A | — |
| Agreeableness | 1 / 5 | +0.35 | A | — |
| Extraversion | 1 / 5 | +0.33 | A | — |
| Competence | 1 / 5 | −0.30 | A | — |
| Hindrance Demands | 1 / 5 | +0.30 | A | — |
| Job Demands | 1 / 5 | +0.27 | A | — |
| Job Resources | 1 / 5 | −0.27 | A | — |
| Openness To Experience Measures | 1 / 5 | +0.24 | A | — |
| Challenge Demands | 1 / 5 | +0.16 | A | — |
“Pooled r” is the meta-analytic prior where one exists; drivers marked study-reported have a model but not yet a pooled prior — a concrete acquisition target. This is the value-of-information view in miniature: the priority engine can rank which driver to measure first by consensus, strength, and how much is still unknown.
§2The models it’s built from
Each contributing study model — the researcher’s theory of this outcome — with its size and grade, so the meta-model is auditable back to its sources.
