Maslach Burnout Inventory

The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is a standardized questionnaire used to assess levels of burnout experienced by professionals, especially those in caring or high-stress jobs. It measures three key areas: emotional exhaustion (feeling drained), depersonalization (developing negative feelings toward others), and reduced personal accomplishment (feeling ineffective). By identifying these aspects, the MBI helps organizations recognize burnout early, enabling targeted interventions to improve well-being, job satisfaction, and performance. It is widely used in research and clinical settings to better understand and address occupational burnout.
