The Relationship Between Perfection and Burnout

The study looked at the relationships between perfectionism and burn out, distress and perceived performance. Perfectionis striving had a positive relationship with perceived performance; it didn't have a relationship with burnout. The strongest relationships in the study were base line scores with scores at three months and one year. It's just that they aren't sensitive enough for change. But whether you sample someone at three months, six months, one year, you will probably see some relationship between burnt out percede performance and two dimensions of perfectionism.
