To introduce a redefined conceptualization of burnout and evaluate the factorial validity, construct validity, and reliability of the novel Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT).
Conducted qualitative interviews with 49 practitioners using a dialectical approach to define core and secondary burnout dimensions.
Administered the BAT to a representative sample of 1,500 Flemish employees to assess factorial structure, internal consistency, and validity against the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI).
Confirmed a four-factor structure for core dimensions (exhaustion, mental distance, cognitive impairment, emotional impairment) best captured by a single general burnout factor.
Identified a two-factor structure for secondary dimensions (depressed mood, psychological distress, psychosomatic complaints) rather than the hypothesized three-factor model.
Demonstrated adequate scale reliability alongside convergent and discriminant validity against existing burnout scales, work engagement, and workaholism.
