The aim of the study is to identify the organizational factors that influence the development of burnout syndrome in the technical-administrative staff of forensic medical services and to compare their impact across different performance areas. A comparative design was employed, with a sample of professionals working in various areas within forensic medical services. Validated questionnaires were applied to assess burnout syndrome and organizational factors, and statistical analyses were conducted to identify differences among the areas. The results indicate that certain areas present a higher risk of burnout, associated with factors such as workload, social support, and lack of recognition. These findings underscore the need for specific strategies to prevent burnout according to the characteristics of each performance area.
