Burnout is a work-related stress syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, a sense of low achievement, and depersonalization. This condition can negatively impact the quality of service, performance, and overall health of clinic employees. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between burnout and quality of life among employees at the Dent Smile Dental Clinic in Jakarta. The research design employed is a descriptive correlational method with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique utilized is purposive sampling.
