         Abstract
          Burnout is an experience relevant not only to psychosocial
          professions, but also to technical work. It is predicted
          that in a technical profession work stressors are related
          to burnout and that this relationship is moderated by
          control at work, task requirements, and the quality of team
          interaction. In a sample of 180 software professionals from
          29 software development projects, stressors were found to
          be positively related to burnout measures. Control at work,
          complexity at work, and openness to criticism within the
          team were all found to be significantly negatively related
          to lack of identification. Moderated regression analyses
          revealed that high cognitive requirements, high learning
          requirements, and low competition within the team enhanced
          the relationship between stressors and burnout. (58
