Employee burnout has emerged as a critical workplace issue in the automobile industry, where long shifts, high pressure, repetitive tasks, and job insecurity are common. Burnout negatively affects both employees and organizations by reducing productivity, increasing absenteeism, and deteriorating overall well-being. This study examines the causes, dimensions, and consequences of burnout, with a special focus on Bellary Motors, a Mahindra & Mahindra dealership. Using survey responses from 110 employees, findings reveal that nearly one-third report fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and sleep disturbances linked to work demands. Literature analysis highlights that burnout in the automobile industry is driven by overwork, lack of recognition, and technological disruptions like automation. The study identifies gaps in stress management training and employee support systems. Recommendations include fair shift scheduling, recognition programs, wellness activities, and enhanced training to build resilience. Addressing burnout is vital not only for employee welfare but also for sustaining organizational growth in a highly competitive industry.
