Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Maslach Burnout Inventory

Factorial validity and consistency of the Maslach Burnout Inventory among staff working with persons with intellectual disability and dementia

“…In a few studies using confirmatory factor analysis, EE and DP were not found to be distinguishable from each other and a two‐factor structure has been suggested as a better alternative (Green et al . 1991; Stalker et al . 2007).…”

The content analysis of these items revealed that they were somehow redundant, and deleting one item of each pair has been recommended for convenience (Byrne, 1993; Yadama and Drake, 1995). The item of each pair that had the lower loading was deleted (24, 51, 56, and 71).…”
