If we want to approach a topic "How to detect/avoid B/o" in a scientific manner, we should begin with a definition of what that condition is and what it is caused by.

It's been some years since I investigated on that topic, but I remember there are basically two paradigms:

A) Blame the guy/dev/employee B) Blame the company/environment/manager

Depending on your point of view, you may want to settle somewhere in between these two extremes. I find "The truth about burnout" by Maslach/Leiter in my bookshelf, who where the first ones doing a proper scientific analysis. They pretty much end up with paradigm B. As a dev, I liked that.
