Burnout is a significant concern in the banking industry, impacting employees' well-being and job performance. This study investigates the level of burnout or emotional exhaustion among managers in the private banking sector in India, focusing on metro cities Delhi/NCR, Pune, and Hyderabad. The research aims to assess if burnout within managers varies based on their gender, marital status, and age groups. The results show that burnout levels significantly differ across age groups, with those aged above 35 experiencing the highest burnout, followed by those below 25 and then those between 25-35 years. However, burnout levels did not show significant variations based on gender or marital status. The findings suggest that HR practitioners in private banks should pay attention to the burnout levels of senior employees, especially those above 35 years, to ensure a sustainable and productive workforce.
