Abstract

A number of work burn-out strategies are being churned out by scholars. However, the most effective either by reason of culture diversity or non-clarity of thought, has not been reached. Although, the most rewarding strategy offered has been that of external prevention. The paper then argues that the most underlying cause of work place burn out is the intrinsic and as such, should earn more of the attention of the organizations. In other words, internal problem of the employee is the major cause for his burn out. The paper then surveyed 50 workers from 10 firms in Obio/Akpor Local Government area of Rivers State. Concern was to find out between external and intrinsic problems the most effective strategy in dealing with workers' burn out. Based on intrinsic arid self-determination theory, conclusion reached was that, out of the firms surveyed, eight employed the intrinsic approach wherein they first of all train their workers on how to handle and manage themselves internally, and not to personally depend on physical rewards as a means to handle burn out. The paper would then employed Likert's method in the analysis of result seeing that it was on the attitudinal response of workers on their everyday burn out.
