The main objective of this final bachelor thesis is to assess the relationship between job burnout and employee well-being. The thesis consists of 4 main parts. The first part provides a theoretical overview, the second part presents the methodology of the study, the third part analyses the data and presents the results, and the fourth part presents conclusions and suggestions. The literature review part analyses the theoretical aspects of occupational burnout and employee well-being. It analyses the concepts of burnout and employee well-being, the interrelationships between them and the main theories that explain how these two phenomena interact with each other. Following a literature review and the identification of the theoretical assumptions for the study, a quantitative study - a questionnaire survey - was carried out to assess the interrelationship between professional burnout and employee well-being in Lithuanian organisations. The empirical study used quantitative methods, including a questionnaire survey and various statistical tests, to test hypothesis H1 and to assess the relationship between employee well-being and job burnout. The study confirmed hypothesis H1 that job burnout has a negative impact on employee well-being. The regression analysis showed that burnout is strongly associated with reduced employee well-being, as indicated by the coefficient of determination 𝑅2=0.361R2=0.361, which means that about 36.1% of the variation in well-being is explained by the level of burnout. The ANOVA and T-test values were significantly less than 0.05, so the relationship between occupational burnout and employee well-being is statistically significant. Kruskal-Wallis tests for demographic variables such as type of organisation, size and seniority did not confirm any statistically significant differences affecting burnout levels. However, the age analysis revealed a statistically significant association, showing that younger workers experience higher levels of burnout (p = 0.001), which may be related to different career stages and higher stress at a younger age. In addition, the analyses revealed that employees' education also has a statistically significant impact on burnout, with higher and lower levels of education associated with different job expectations and career opportunities, which have an impact on burnout and overall employee well-being (p = 0.011 and p = 0.007) . The author believes that these findings provide a basis for further research and policy development in organisations to reduce the impact of occupational burnout on employees' well-being, particularly in relation to age and educational diversity in the workplace.
