Maslach Burnout Inventory
The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is the most widely used instrument for measuring occupational burnout—a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment in response to chronic workplace stress. Developed by Christina Maslach and Susan Jackson in the early 1980s, the MBI has become the standard reference for burnout assessment in research, occupational health, and clinical practice across helping professions and other high-stress occupations.
