How to know it's time to change your job: psychological markers.

You still show up; inside you’ve left. This episode maps clear research‑backed markers that your job no longer fits—so you can decide with less noise and more signal. What we cover: burnout as defined in ICD‑11 (WHO, 2019); the Maslach Burnout Inventory and its three dimensions (Maslach, 1981); the Job Demands–Resources model (Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner, Schaufeli, 2001); effort‑reward imbalance (Siegrist, 1996); why vacation effects fade fast (De Bloom et al., 2009); how workplace incivility links to burnout and turnover intentions (Schilpzand, De Pater, Erez, 2016); psychological safety and speaking up (Edmondson, 1999); and Hirschman’s Exit–Voice–Loyalty framework (1970). Then we finish with a simple 3‑step monthly checklist to track exhaustion, effort/recognition, and growth hours. If this helped, subscribe for practical, evidence‑based career psychology.
