We are writing in response to the Letter to the Editor by Block, Bair, and Carillo 1 regarding our study, 2 which took a multilevel approach to examine cross-lagged and co-existing relationships between exhaustion and disengagement, measured daily for ten consecutive working days using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI). 3,4 We assessed the job burnout symptoms using only eight items, all of them worded negatively. 1 Following Block, Bair, and Carillo's 1 request, we are happy to provide supplementary cross-sectional results from the first day of our study. The mean and standard deviation was 2.34 ± 0.99 for exhaustion, 2.10 ± 0.80 for disengagement, and the t-paired test was statistically significant (t (234) = 5.47, p < 0.001). In addition, a higher level of exhaustion was associated with a higher level of disengagement (Pearson's r = 0.72, p <.001). Furthermore, we have datasets from other studies 5-8 on burnout, in which the first author was involved, that use OLBI as a measurement tool and we are presenting similar analyses based on them as well. The summary is provided in Table 1. In the study among civil servants, 5 we examined the shape of the relationship between positivity (i.e., the proportion of positive to negative job-related emotions) and job burnout using a cross-sectional and longitudinal approach. Job burnout was measured twice, at a four-month interval. We observed that, at each measurement point, the mean value for exhaustion was significantly higher than for disengagement. This is consistent with results from an academic anesthesia department reported by Block, Bair, and Carillo. 9 We also examined the relationship between positivity and job burnout among a mixed group of police officers and firefighters. 6 Contrary to the aforementioned studies, the results of this study indicated that the mean value for disengagement was higher than for exhaustion. However, it is worth noting that the gender distribution of each group differed greatly. While the majority of civil servants were women (75%), the vast majority of uniformed officers were men (94%). Also, the characteristics of these professions differ substantially. In another study, Basinska, Wiciak, and Dåderman 7 examined the relationship between fatigue, emotion, and job burnout among a group of police officers (15% women) where the results also showed
