Organizational staff is easy to work tirelessly in the face of these changes that knowledge updates quickly and organizational environment changes frequently because of information society. Burnout causes the comprehensive set of negative symptoms such as extreme physical and mental fatigue,rejected work, no job satisfaction and so on which arise from long-term mitigation work pressure. Burnout is not the same as physical fatigue, which originated from mental fatigue. The negative impact of burnout on individuals,organizations,families and society is profound and significant.As we study the phenomenon of job burnout later, the current study is to learn and introduct some foreign research. The subjects are mostly concentrated in the human service industry such as teachers,doctors,nurses and police, especially little research on knowledge workers. I summarize the previous theoretical and empirical research based on the knowledge workers interviewed, select the appropriate questionnaire and establish the job stress - burnout model. Drawn from the analysis of the current context of knowledge worker burnout,I research on the work stressors and the relection of work stressors on the formation mechanism of burnout, and analysis of demographic variables based on different differences in job burnout.People find factors mostly from the personal characteristics and the external environment to study on the factors of burnout,with little regard to emotional factors.I introduct the emotion from the object of psychology.I establish emotional - burnout model,empirically interpretated the effect of the predict variable to the outcome variable and regulation mechanism of the regulation variables. The model proved reasonable and effective.Finally, based on the theoretical and empirical research findings of previous studies, I propose the interventions of the job burnout from the emotional issues in order that the managers of the knowledge workers eliminate burnout intervention confusion existed and that people establish harmonious institutional mechanisms to achieve better management.
