Abstract :The aim of the research is to reveal the antecedents and consequences of boreout syndrome in managers and to develop solution suggestions. In this context, qualitative research was designed and feelings and thoughts of individuals working as managers in Karaman were consulted. The data obtained from the interviews was examined with content and descriptive techniques and analyzed with the Maxqda software. As a result, additional antecedents and consequences different from those found in the literature were identified for the factors leading to boreout syndrome in managers. Antecedents were identified as seeing the same faces all the time, working at a desk/indoors, technical disruptions, environmental pressure, and virtuality while consequences were identified as daydreaming or planning. Finally, a model was developed based on the findings, some theoretical and practical contributions were presented, and recommendations were made.
