When performing their professional duties in the work environment, employees usually prefer a certain style of action, which is conditioned on the one hand by the action of behavioral drivers, defined in early childhood through parental responsibilities, and on the other hand by one’s environment. The professional style is conditioned by the management style of the managers and the characteristics of the culture of the organization in which the employee works. In the process of career development, managers form their own professional style, wherein the most important thing is to harmonize their strengths, weaknesses, values, and the desired lifestyle with the requirements of the profession, organization, and the workplace.

Abstract
Modern life is almost unthinkable outside of information systems. New information technologies enable the simultaneous use of multiple media, which leads to a revolution in the common way of working with people in order to create a successful organization. Today, information technologies are becoming a strategic element in the development of the organization and society as a whole, and are becoming a basic management resource. The aim of this chapter is to present the possibilities of predicting burnout and chronic fatigue based on the professional style of the employee, as well as examining the differences in the severity of burnout, chronic fatigue and circadian rhythmics, programmers working at home, so-called freelancers, and those working in companies. The results show that there are differences between employees who work from home and freelancers in terms of problems in everyday functioning, and differences between employees working in different working conditions at different levels of the variable application of preventive measures to prevent fatigue.
