Burnout Assessment Tool

The BAT is a brief 10-item self-report instrument measuring occupational burnout across three dimensions: exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. Developed by Schaufeli and colleagues in 2020 as a more contemporary alternative to the widely used Maslach Burnout Inventory, the BAT aligns with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) definition of burnout and emphasizes work-related exhaustion and reduced effectiveness. The scale is used for occupational health screening, research on workplace stress, and organizational assessment of employee wellbeing.
