“…For one thing, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique became increasingly widespread, facilitating the conduct of Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA), which in turn contributed to a massive (e.g. Cordes, Dougherty & Blum, 1997;Green, Walkey & Taylor, 1991;Holland, Michael & Kim, 1994;Lee & Ashforth, 1990;Schaufeli & van Dierendonck, 1993;Schutte, Toppinen, Kalimo & Schaufeli, 2000;Söderfeldt, Söderfeldt, Warg & Ohlson, Taris, Schreurs & Schaufeli, 1999;Walkey & Green, 1992) investigation of construct validity of the MBI. The bulk of research supports the three-factor representation of the MBI as well as convergent and discriminant validity of the instrument (see Maslach & Jackson, 1981;Meier, 1984;Schaufeli & Enzmann, 1998), however some ambiguity with respect to the factor structure and reliabilities of mainly the depersonalization subscale remain.…”

“…Although most studies have supported the notion that the MBI captures a threedimensional representation of burnout, a number of studies have indicated that a two-factor representation was superior to the three-factor representation (e.g. Green, Walkey & Taylor, 1991;Holland, Michael & Kim, 1994;Schaufeli & van Dierendonck, 1993, Walkey & Green, 1992. Previous exploratory factor analysis of a Swedish version of the MBI-HSS (Söderfeldt, 1997) concluded that burnout was best represented by only two of Maslach's dimensionsemotional exhaustion and depersonalization.…”

The overall address of the present thesis is the association between being 'on fire' and burnout. More specifically, the thesis focused largely on two representations of involvement in work (work engagement and Type A behavior) and their respective relationships to burnout. Another pervasive theme was construct validity in assessing burnout and work engagement. These themes were addressed in four empirical studies, conducted in a sample of healthcare workers (Study I) and a sample of information communication technology consultants (Studies II, III, and IV). Study I aimed to extend the previously preliminary support for the construct validity of the Swedish version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The objective of Study II was the discriminant validity of the Utrecht Work engagement Scale (UWES) against the theoretically adjacent constructs of job involvement and organizational commitment. Another objective was the translation and evaluation of a Swedish version of the UWES. In Study III, the aim was to investigate the (cross-sectional) association between Type A behavior, work engagement and burnout. Study III had two foci: 1) whether global Type A behavior interacts with job factors to affect burnout and work engagement, and 2) the associations between the main components of Type A behavior (achievement-striving and irritability/impatience) and burnout as well as work engagement. Study IV concerned the longitudinal relationships between Type A behavior and burnout, and between work engagement and burnout. The results presented in this dissertation support the construct validity of Swedish versions of the MBI and UWES. It was further indicated that emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (or cynicism) constitute the core aspects of burnout, and that work engagement was more prominently associated with lack of health complaints than job involvement and organizational commitment. Global Type A behavior was positively related to work engagement in cross-sectional data but unrelated to burnout. When the dimensionality of Type A behavior was taken into account, it was indicated that the achievement-striving aspect of Type A behavior that was associated with work engagement, whereas irritability was associated with less engagement and more burnout complaints. No indications of an interaction between (global or the sub-dimensions of) Type A behavior and job stress were found. The most important finding of Study IV was that change in Type A behavior was unrelated to change in burnout across time (one-year interval). Furthermore, Study IV supported the notion that work engagement and burnout are bipolar opposites in a work well-being continuum. To conclude, the present thesis suggests that burnout be viewed as an erosion of intrinsic, affective engagement in work, occurring when intrinsic motivation is frustrated by job stress. To avoid conceptual confusion, burnout should be distinguished form exhaustion syndrome, however it should be acknowledged that burnout may have a negative impact on health. The...

“…The result clearly supported the 3 factors structure of burnout. Other studies have found a 2 factor structure (19)(20)(21)(22), while a 4 factor structure has been showed by other researchers (23)(24)(25)(26). According to these research results, it can be concluded that burnout is a complex phenomenon with a multi-factorial structure.…”

Background: Over the past several decades the concept of burnout has been an important topic for the domain of education and psychology. One of the challenges regarding burnout is to develop an effective instrument, which considers cultural differences into account. By reviewing literature, we can figure out that there are some burnout instruments, which most of them are just for teachers, counselors, and workers. Despite the important effects of burnout among students, there is no instrument that assesses high school student burnout specifically. The aim of this study is to develop an instrument for high school students, which is valid, reliable, and suitable for Iranian culture.

“…Obviously, personal accomplishment is a concept relatively unrelated to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, as perceived by Walkey and Green (1992). As research suggests that personal accomplishment diminishes first when burnout develops, further research could focus on factors that are connected with this concept.…”

Job demands, job control, social support and self-efficacy beliefs as determinants of burnout among physical education teachers

The aim of the present study, which involved 311 Physical Education (PE) teachers in Dutch schools, was to examine the relationships between job demands, job control, social support and perceived self-efficacy on the one hand and teacher burnout on the other. Based on Karasek's Demands-Control-Support model (1990), it was expected that perceived stringent job demands in combination with perceived lack of control on the job and perceived lack of social support from colleagues, principals and managers could so affect teachers' health that they were likely to suffer from enhanced levels of burnout. Our study partly confirmed results based on the Karasek model. It was also expected that the number of domain-determined self-efficacy beliefs concerning the influence teachers had on job demands would affect their level of burnout. However, this supposition was not supported. Perceived job control was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between perceived job demands on the one hand and the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions of burnout on the other. Colleague support had a moderating effect on the relationship between job demands and the personal accomplishment dimension of burnout, whereas managerial support had a moderating effect on self-efficacy beliefs concerning teachers' influence on job demands and personal accomplishment. The study further revealed that PE teachers run a greater risk of falling victim to burnout as they grow older. Implications for future studies are discussed.
