In her work, Vera Esser examines the impact of experienced justice in professional and private roles on the risk of burnout. She demonstrates that the less justice is experienced, the more likely burnout symptoms occur, although the interaction between experienced professional and private justice differs between men and women. Men seem to make a comparison of justice between their professional and private roles, where private justice emerges as a risk factor for burnout. In contrast, for women, private justice appears to act as a protective factor against burnout.
