Employee burnout has become a global issue with significant implications for both individuals and organizations. With the emergence of new work arrangements, the question of how these new work models and increased levels of employee autonomy affect burnout rates has become a focal point for businesses. Understanding the relationships between these factors is essential for developing effective strategies to prevent burnout, promote well-being, and enhance job performance. This paper provides a systematic review of the literature on the impact of hybrid work arrangements and the degree of autonomy among employees working in these arrangements on burnout. Based on a systematic review of the literature, we identified and examined three main areas of current research: (1) the impact of work arrangements on employee burnout, (2) the impact of autonomy in performing employee tasks on their burnout, and (3) methods and tools to reduce employee burnout rates. This systematic literature review provides a framework for future research in this area and identifies gaps that require further attention, such as examining the direct impacts of autonomy in multiple areas on employee burnout, as this area has not been sufficiently explored.

Keywords: burnout, autonomy, hybrid work models, employee satisfaction.
