Noun[edit]

burn-in

  1. (manufacturing) The process by which components of a system are exercised prior to being placed in service (and sometimes before assembly), forcing certain failures to occur under supervised conditions.
  2. The phase preceding a burn-out in which a worker's productivity and engagement with their work declines.
    • 2005, Thomas Hyphantis, Venetsanos Mavreas, “‘Burning In’ – ‘Burning Out’ in Public: Aspects of the Burnout Process in Community-Based Psychiatric Services”, in Alexander-Stamatios G. Antoniou, Cary L. Cooper, editors, Research Companion to Organizational Health Psychology, page 538:
      A huge personal investment results in a huge ‘burn-in’. This is probably the first state that needs to be dealt with, before switching to ‘burn-out’. Indeed discussion about the important interaction between the two could lead to the avoidance of ‘burn-out’ through understanding ‘burn-in’. Interestingly, a large body of literature has shown that professionals in the mental heath[sic] services seem to be more vulnerable to the ‘burn-in’—‘burn-out’ process.
