NICMAR Journal of construction managementSummary: Infrastructure projects entail extremely demanding working conditions, often with scant resources or support. When early career construction professionals are exposed to such pressure on a sustained basis, they are likely to experience burnout. Accordingly, this study sought to examine the antecedents of burnout, employing the job demands resources model. an empirical study with responses from 207 early career engineers and managers employed in infrastructure projects in India largely support the conjectures. As hypothesized, negative association was found between perceived organizational support and job autonomy and burnout. further, positive association was found between work-family conflict and stakeholder management (both demands) and burnout. However, hypotheses about emotional intelligence (resources) and role ambiguity (demand) were not supported. results of the study are discussed with respect to their implications for research and practice. Limitations are acknowledged.
