An article in HR Executive cites research by Columbia Business School’s Silvia Bellezza titled “Lack of Leisure: Is Busyness the New Status Symbol?” while discussing workplace burnout and organizational culture. The piece references Bellezza’s findings that busyness and burnout are often perceived as signals of status and importance, contributing to environments that unintentionally reward overwork.
