Method evidence record

Work-Related Burnout Scale

The Work-Related Burnout Scale, most commonly embodied in the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) developed by Christina Maslach and Susan Jackson in 1986, is the most widely used instrument for assessing occupational burnout. The MBI measures three core dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion (depletion of emotional resources), depersonalization (cynical, detached attitude toward work and others), and reduced personal accomplishment (diminished sense of effectiveness and achievement). The MBI has been translated into numerous languages and is considered the gold standard in burnout research and occupational health assessment.
