The article contains theory-cognitional and empirical parts, which aim is to diagnose the organisational reasons of burnout being detected by managers in organisations, which they work in. The group of 45 representatives of managers who are the students of Executive MBA in INE PAN in Warsaw took part in the research. The managers’ opinions about organisational risk factors of burnout which occur in their work environment were the subject matter. The tool used for research was questionnaire of polling. The following research problem was worded: What organisational factors which raise the risk of burnout are detected by representatives of managerial staff in their work environment? The analysis of respondents’ statements enable to emerge of the following categories of burnout risk factors: the pressure (of the time, responsibility, expectations), lack of possibilities to develop the occupational abilities and seat promotion, the reasons entrenched in wrong interpersonal relations, lack of appeasement of basic employees’ need, blunders in motivational system and work organisation, lack of real possibility of making decisions. Vicariously, the research results indicate senior staff individualistic inertia. The respondents are conscious of burnout risk factors, but they do not take enough effective action building friendly organisational environment and promoting healthy lifestyle. They estimate that the impact of these things on mental hygiene improvement in enterprises is little. They are prone to detect potential resources of burnout in factors, which they do not have direct influence on, for instance in the rules enforced by the high level managers, in law of tough market competition etc. There are no statistically significant differences between the responses of men and women. The article develops knowledge in the area of organisational behavior.
