Which of these is not a risk factor for burnout?

The correct option is Cynicism.

Here is the breakdown of why, based on the standard psychological definitions of burnout (often using the Maslach Burnout Inventory):

• Work overload: This is a major risk factor (cause). When the demands of the job exceed your capacity to recover, burnout begins.
• Lack of control: This is also a significant risk factor (cause). Feeling like you have no say in your schedule, assignments, or resources leads to high stress.
• Cynicism: This is a symptom (result) of burnout, not a risk factor. It is the psychological distance or negative attitude a person develops toward their job after they have already begun to burn out.

Summary

Risk factors are the causes (overload, lack of control, unfairness), while cynicism is one of the outcomes or signs that burnout is occurring.
