Developed emotional resilience and the ability to cope with emotions can prevent professional burnout in military personnel. The purpose of the article is a theoretical review of scientific research and an empirical study of the relationship between emotional resilience and professional burnout in military personnel. Methods. In the study of the relationship between emotional resilience and professional burnout in military officers, theoretical and applied analysis and literature review were used to determine the state of development of this problem at the present stage. The empirical methods of research were used: the test-questionnaire of A. V. Zverkov and E. V. Eidman to study the emotional and volitional self-regulation of the individual as a characteristic of emotional stability; the methodology “Burnout Syndrome” in the professions of the “person-to-person” system to determine the manifestation of professional burnout in military officers. Results. The analysis of the concepts of “emotional stability” and “professional burnout” is presented.
