Stigma is an underestimated challenge when combatting the growing numbers of job burnout. Indeed, recent studies have demonstrated that there are society-wide negative attitudes towards burnout and that burned-out workers are confronted with discrimination when seeking re-employment. There are three notable gaps in the study of burnout stigma and re-employment. First, although stigma is defined as a social process, there has been little attention for the psycho-social context in which such discrimination takes place. Second, with the literature’s focus on public stigma and employers’ discriminatory behaviour, the stigmatised worker’s perspective remains virtually unexplored. Third, while vignette experiments are potent instruments to study complex social issues such as burnout and re-employment, the vignette literature lacks an overview of its interdisciplinary nature and knows contradicting practices. Addressing these gaps, my objectives are to (a) integrate best practices across vignette traditions, (b) engage the workers’ perspective in the burnout stigma literature and (c) understand the role of organisational contexts in discriminatory hiring decisions regarding burned-out workers. To these ends, I will conduct a (i) systematic review of vignette methodologies and analyse the workplace stigmatisation of burned-out workers via a series of (ii) qualitative interviews and (iii) innovative experiments from both the employers’ and workers’ perspectives.
