Data analyses revealed that alexithymia is positively correlated with occupational burnout, whereas the latter’s correlation with organizational commitment is negative. It is concluded that the occupational burnout can be predicted by the other two constructs; hence, preventive measures would involve improvements in both commitment and alexithymia.  Key words: alexithymia, organizational commitment, occupational burnout
