The article presents the original periodization of the study of professional burnout based upon the analysis of Russian and foreign studies. 338 employees working for social welfare facilities of the Southern Administrative District of Moscow (251 women, 87 men, age of participants ranged from 22 to 64 years old, the average age was 44,9±10,7 years old) have been examined. The Spearman’s rank of correlation coefficient has revealed significant links at the level p≤0,01 and helped form 4 groups: general work satisfaction; job satisfaction; employees’ relationship satisfaction; a fully functioning person. The study revealed key relations among professional burnout of professional social workers, the level of work satisfaction, and indices of a fully functioning person.
