Burnout is a widely studied issue that can have negative consequences for individuals. In this paper, we examine whether organizational culture and other included factors contribute to the presence of burnout symptoms (burnout indicators) during the COVID-19 period among public sector (public university) employees. Using factor and regression analysis, we found that organizational culture together with other individual aspects such as work-life balance and respondents' age can significantly influence the burnout indicators. The results are significant and robust at a given significance level. Our main contribution consists in the following: Firstly, we show that specific parts of organizational culture can significantly influence individuals during remote work. Secondly, by using different measurements, we contribute external validity to current burnout studies. Finally, the results can inspire managers and leading workers in both public and private sectors in terms of organizational culture settings to create working environments that are more suitable for individuals during normal and critical times.
