Which statement is NOT listed as a contributor to burnout?

• A. High Autonomy And Control
• B. Financial And Economic Factors
• C. Burden Of Administrative Responsibilities
• D. Work-Life Imbalance

Answer: (A)

High autonomy and control over your work tends to protect against burnout rather than contribute to it. When clinicians can influence how they manage their workload, scheduling, and processes, they feel more empowered and less trapped by the job, which lowers emotional exhaustion and detachment. In contrast, financial and economic pressures add ongoing stress, the burden of administrative responsibilities piles on nonclinical tasks that cut into time for direct patient care, and work-life imbalance reduces opportunities for recovery, all of which are well-established contributors to burnout. Since high autonomy and control is protective, it is not listed as a contributor, making it the correct choice for this question.
