Abstract

Understanding Organizational Efficiency and Burnout with the Laws of Thermodynamics

Author(s): Ravi Mehrotra*

Looking at today's very dynamic business landscape, organizations cannot maximize efficiency without reducing cases of burnout. Shockingly, principles derived from thermodynamics that very science of energy and its transformations aid in offering important insights into tackling this problem. This paper presents how the laws of thermodynamics can inform strategies aimed at enhancing efficiency within organizations while reducing burnout. If leaders can successfully implement notions of energy conservation, entropy, and optimization into organization operations, they could develop better and more sustainable work environments. This paper discusses various practical applications of case studies, all pointing out how these principles have already been integrated successfully into practice.
