  • STM combines proven developmental and organizational psychology frameworks to help assess their team’s needs and respond with the right balance of structure and support.

Did you Know… 

There is a relationship between burnout and attachment styles. 

One study of 150 Israeli employees found that those with an anxious or avoidant attachment style were more likely to experience burnout at work.  

  • A of 161 employees of an assisted living center found that those with secure attachment had lower burnout levels. 

Another study examined the relationship in 5 separate samples: (1) 41 Israeli MBA students, (2) 216 Israeli nurses, (3) 751 Hungarian university students, and representative samples of (4) the Jewish population in Israel (n = 511) and (5) the Arab population in Israel (n = 505).  

*Across all of these samples, the authors observed that individuals with a more secure attachment experienced less burnout and those with insecure attachment style experienced more burnout.
