====== Chaotic workplace ======

A chaotic [[workplace]] is a work [[environment]] that lacks [[structure]] and [[organization]], often resulting in [[confusion]], [[inefficiency]], and [[stress]] for employees. This may be due to a variety of factors, such as poor [[communication]], unclear [[expectation]]s, lack of [[direction]], [[disorganization]], or a high-[[stress]] work environment. A chaotic workplace can negatively impact employee [[morale]] and [[productivity]], and it may require management intervention to improve the situation.

Higher burnout was seen in [[chaotic workplace]]s (odds ratio [OR], 1.51; 95% CI, 1.38-1.66; P < .001) and with low [[work control]] (OR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.91-2.30; P < .001). Higher [[burnout]] was associated with poor [[teamwork]] (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.78-2.43; P < .001), while feeling valued was associated with lower burnout (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.18-0.27; P < .001). In time trends, burnout was consistently higher with [[chaos]] and poor work control
