In 1995, the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) published the results of a survey asking members to respond to the question "Are you burned-out?" as well as questions relating to the nature of stress levels experienced by the trainers in the workplace (ASTD, 1995). Forty-three percent of the respondents stated that they were burned-out, and another 25% felt that they were "in danger" of burning out. The overwhelming majority of the respondents (86%) indicated that their stress levels, due to work conditions, were increasing. And, increases in workload (83%) and demands from management (63%) were the most cited causes of stress.
