We used structural equation models to assess factorial validity, measurement invariance, and relationships with other variables (e.
Article Synopsis
- Burnout is defined as emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced personal efficacy, gaining attention after being recognized in the WHO's ICD-11 list in 2019.
- The study reports on the psychometric properties of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) among Portuguese aircraft maintenance technicians, marking the first research on burnout in this specific occupational group.
- Findings indicate that the OLBI is a reliable and valid tool for measuring burnout, which significantly correlates with mental and physical fatigue, highlighting its importance for safety in the aviation industry.
