The study carried out by the Brazilian
Observatory of psychosocial risks of the Uniao Geral dos Trabalhadores (UGT)
union shows that stress at work is notably due to the number of worked hours. 77%

of 4.000 workers from different sectors. But the study gives other factors for
burnout: hierarchal pressure, emergency, uncertainty as to work
