- Series of LISREL analyses using self-reports and observer ratings of working conditions
- Total sample size of 374 across three occupational groups: human services, industry, and transport
- Assessment of a new burnout instrument, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory for factor structure confirmation.
- Job demands related primarily to exhaustion in burnout, while lack of job resources linked to disengagement.
