Abstract
The authors focus attention on administrator burnout, calling attention to the research on burnout among human services staff and noting parallels on the management level. Burnout, a kind of exhaustion resulting from the demands and drains in interactions with others, leads to physical and psychological symptoms and a need to separate from the stressing sources. Stressors contributing to administrator burnout are identified, and the implications of burnout for effective agency functioning are noted. Some preliminary suggestions for intervention into administrator burnout are provided.Keywords
