Objective: This study aims to tackle the increasing prevalence of employee burnout by introducing a novel hybrid methodology employing Bayesian networks and fuzzy logic. This approach seeks to identify and address burnout risks comprehensively. Theoretical Framework: Drawing from burnout theories alongside Bayesian networks and fuzzy logic, this research establishes a robust foundation for understanding burnout complexities and evaluating the efficacy of the proposed hybrid approach. Method: The methodology encompasses a model development phase utilizing OpenMarkov and FisPro to integrate Bayesian networks and fuzzy logic. Data collection involved a multifaceted approach including surveys, expert interviews, and a thorough review of literature focusing on workload, work environment, psychology, and other pertinent factors influencing burnout. Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that burnout tends to manifest at lower levels in scenarios characterized by weak communication, high workload, and low obstacles, while it escalates in situations marked by weak communication, occasional workload spikes, and moderate obstacles, among other contributing factors. These results are analyzed within the context of the theoretical framework, emphasizing their implications for individual well-being and organizational success. Research Implications: This study provides actionable insights for companies, particularly human resources managers, to bolster employee psychological support systems and advance organizational objectives. Proactively addressing burnout risks can enhance both employee well-being and overall organizational performance. Originality/Value: By proposing a hybrid methodology that merges Bayesian networks and fuzzy logic to comprehensively tackle burnout risks, this research contributes to the existing literature. The innovative methodology and practical implications underscore the significance and applicability of this study for organizations striving to mitigate burnout within their workforce.

Introduction. One of the main objectives, pursued by the information analysis support extended to smoke divers, is the preparation of indoor routes. Technical capabilities, represented by advanced remote monitoring systems, provide a fire extinguishing manager with the necessary information about the point of fire origin and mathematical tools allow to predict fire spreading characteristics. The goal of this work is to develop an algorithm for the preparation of an optimal indoor route for smoke divers to support management decisions in the event of fire. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to develop the theoretical framework and implement it in a software programme.Theoretical foundations. The theory of cellular automata is employed in this paper to simulate the routes of smoke divers inside a building. A cellular automaton with a Moore neighborhood is applied. We use differential equations, similar to the Kolmogorov equations, to monitor the fire parameters.Results and discussions. A modified wave algorithm was developed to determine the optimal indoor route. The software tool was applied to simulate the route of gas divers. Coefficients of importance were applied in the process of mathematical modeling; they took account of the prioritized work to be performed by smoke divers.Conclusions. The results of the study suggest that the algorithm allows to identify the optimal itinerary, thereby enabling the decision maker, responsible for sending teams of smoke divers to the work performance location, to make a reasonable choice of the point of entry for the personnel and machinery, as well as their itinerary inside the building.

Introduction. The relevance of the topic, addressed in the article, is backed by the fact that modern heating systems, such as the underfloor heating, remain potential sources of fire, despite the improvement in their designs. The purpose of the study is to identify the causes of fires that occur in the process of operation of modern heating systems “Underfloor Heating”; to analyze and generalize the conclusions made by the fire safety experts in respect of the heating systems analyzed in the article.Materials and methods. To assess the flammability of the infrared film underfloor heating, an experiment was conducted by the experts: the process of underfloor heating was simulated under normal environmental conditions at room temperature.Results and discussion. The experiment has shown that the floor covering, made of the material capable of accumulating heat, is the most dangerous one, although its small area prevents its disconnection from the thermal sensor. When dismantling the construction, the co-authors found out that the foil insulator had been melting in the area of maximal temperatures. Over the course of seven hours of operation, the temperature exceeded 120 ºC, and after that the odor of products of thermal decomposition of a synthetic product appeared.Conclusions. Despite all the features of advanced underfloor heating systems, their automated operation and transformation, they remain potentially flammable. Modern underfloor heating systems can take fire both as a result of violation of the fire precautions in case of non-compliance with the requirements for the operation of heating devices, and as a result of overheated film heaters located under the floor covering.
