Sažetak
Social work professionals, like many other experts from helping professions, are exposed to the occupational stress phenomenon. The occupation stress arises from the inconsistency between work and the social environment demands and one’s inability to meet these demands. Hence, its negative end result is the burnout at work. From a broader perspective it could be argued that, burn-out at work is a process that leads one to a complete professional exhaustion which could result in one feeling utterly lethargic. Thus, insight into the research on the main sources of stress and burnout at work among the social work professionals is the aim of this paper. More so, the special emphasis will be put on the local research. Finally, the paper will aim to consolidate the most frequent research findings in regards to the sources of stress and burnout at work among the social work professionals.
