Women are more likely to report emotional exhaustion and men are more likely to report depersonalization.

Research has shown that women are more likely to report feelings of emotional exhaustion, which is a key component of burnout, characterized by overwhelming exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and detachment from the job, and a sense of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment. On the other hand, men are more likely to report depersonalization, another dimension of burnout, which involves a sense of detachment from others and a negative, cynical attitude towards one's clients or colleagues.
