Insight & Predictive Power
Game theory in general provides frameworks that may be applied to (a) analyzing workplace dynamics and (2) specific models, like Prisoner's Dilemma and Nash Equilibrium, offer predictive power.
Analyzing workplace dynamics may provide insight into motivations and decision-making processes of individuals and thus identify specific underlying causes of burnout. This analysis may render helpful information for designing effective interventions.
The predictive power of certain models may support anticipating behavior and identifying sources of conflict and stress in workplace environments. This predictive capability may be helpful in mitigating burnout risk.
Holistic Assessment & Tailored Interventions
Game theory we may be useful for understanding systemic factors contributing to burnout (ie workplace interactions). Adopting a holistic approach may be helpful to develop strategies tailored to specific workplace dynamics.
Game theory insights my inform targeted intervention strategies (ie leveraging cooperation, fairness, and negotiation) to mitigate burnout risk. Understanding the underlying game structures may support interventions that address root causes of burnout.
