“…One of them (i.e., validity evidence based on the relations to other variables) was only analyzed from a correlational perspective with five related constructs. Further research on the BAT's scores' relations to other variables should expand to other conceptually linked constructs such as fatigue using, for example, the Portuguese adaptation of the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion/Recovery [6] or the Brazilian adaptation of the Feeling of Fatigue scale [123]. Test-criterion relationships should be analyzed in future studies using a predictive or concurrent design.…”

The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) has been gaining increased attention as a sound and innovative instrument in its conceptualization of burnout. BAT has been adapted for several countries, revealing promising validity evidence. This paper aims to present the psychometric properties of the Brazilian and Portuguese versions of the BAT in both the 23-item and 12-item versions. BAT’s validity evidence based on the internal structure (dimensionality, reliability, and measurement invariance) and validity evidence based on the relations to other variables are the focus of research. A cross-sectional study was conducted with two non-probabilistic convenience samples from two countries (N = 3103) one from Brazil (nBrazil = 2217) and one from Portugal (nPortugal= 886). BAT’s original structure was confirmed, and it achieved measurement invariance across countries. Using both classic test theory and item response theory as frameworks, the BAT presented good validity evidence based on the internal structure. Furthermore, the BAT showed good convergent evidence (i.e., work engagement, co-worker support, role clarity, work overload, and negative change). In conclusion, the psychometric properties of the BAT make this freely available instrument a promising way to measure and compare burnout levels of Portuguese and Brazilian workers.

“…Then, 32 questions were included in four dimensions: work status ( 51 – 53 ), workload ( 50 ), work schedule ( 54 , 55 ) and working conditions ( 56 , 57 ). Finally, the questionnaire was subjected to reliability and validity tests ( 58 , 59 ), as well as an EFA and validation factor analysis ( 60 , 61 ). The results showed that the alpha coefficient of the pilot survey data tested the reliability of the questionnaire, and the KMO value and Bartlett's spherical test were used to test the correlation of the questionnaire's question variables, which showed that the questionnaire had good validity and that the survey data were correlated and suitable for a factor analysis.…”

BackgroundFatigue risk management for pilots has received increasing attention. The existing fatigue management systems have detailed descriptions of the factors and the mutual influences among the factors that affect the dimension of “sleep”, which is one of the most important causes of fatigue. However, the analysis of the influencing factors of the “work” dimension of fatigue causes has not been very detailed or accurate, especially the exploration of the mutual influence among many fatigue-influencing factors in the “work” dimension.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the mutual influence among fatigue-influencing factors related to the “work” dimension in the analysis of pilot fatigue causes.MethodsThis study designed a questionnaire on the dimension of “work” in the causes of pilot fatigue and collected a total of 270 feedback data points from international flight pilots. Based on the questionnaires and data, descriptive statistical analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to explore the influencing factors and their mutual influences on the “work” dimension of pilot fatigue.ResultsThere is a strong, mutual influence relationship among the fatigue causes of long-haul flight pilots – working status, working conditions and working schedules – in the dimension of “work”. The workload only has a strong correlation with the working schedule, and the interaction relationships with the working status or working conditions are weak.ConclusionThis study analyses the mutual influence among the influencing factors of the “work” dimension of pilot fatigue, and we expect to provide empirical data for pilot fatigue risk management and to help improve fatigue risk management systems.

“…Para avaliar a fadiga no trabalho são desenvolvidos instrumentos psicométricos de medida (Celestino, Bucher-Maluschke, & Marqueze, 2020;Frone & Blais, 2020b;Frone & Tidwell, 2016). No contexto brasileiro, alguns instrumentos possuem tradição de uso em pesquisas, sendo eles: a) Piper Fatigue Scale (Mota, Pimenta, & Piper, 2009), b) Escala de avaliação da fadiga (De Vries, Michielsen, Van Heck, & Drent, 2004;Gouveia et al, 2015); c) Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (Cho et al, 2007) e; d) The Need for Recovery Scale (NFR) (Moriguchi et al, 2012).…”
