I decided to take some time to read that research and that's not at all what the research says.
What the research says is that it needs to first identify what exactly is meant by burnout, how can one know if someone is burned out? The research says that there are six factors that correlate with burnout, but not that those factors cause burnout.
A burned out worker will feel overworked, will feel like they're being treated unfairly, like things are unfair, that they aren't being paid enough etc etc...
That does not necessarily mean that they are being overworked, that they are being treated unfairly, that they aren't being paid the market rate for their job title. It could mean that, but that's not the purpose of the research cited and it's a gross misunderstanding of it.
Some jobs will pressure you into overworking with no incentive, but you can still choose not to overwork yourself. In most cases burnout can be avoided by having a healthy view of work.

We actually do exhibit many of the qualities of a small family (kindness, support, strong positive relationships, etc). Guess we need a new metaphor ;-)
