This study aims to examine the relationship between workload and burnout among employees based on previous research findings. A literature review method was employed for this study. Literature searches were conducted via Google Scholar and GARUDA using the keywords beban kerja, burnout, karyawan, workload, and employees. An analysis of 15 articles revealed that the majority of studies found a positive relationship or influence between workload and burnout among employees. High workloads, excessive job demands, time constraints, and a mismatch between job demands and individual capacity were associated with an increased risk of burnout. However, some studies indicated that the influence of workload on burnout was not significant. These variations in results are linked to other factors examined alongside workload, such as work stress, the work environment, work-life balance, and work-family conflict. These findings suggest that the relationship between workload and burnout must be understood by considering the work context and other factors related to the employees' conditions.
