Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)

The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is a widely used tool to assess burnout, which is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by prolonged stress at work. It measures three key areas: Emotional Exhaustion (feeling drained and overwhelmed), Depersonalization (becoming detached or cynical towards work or clients), and Reduced Personal Accomplishment (feeling ineffective or lacking achievement). By identifying these aspects, the MBI helps organizations and individuals understand burnout levels and develop strategies to improve well-being, job satisfaction, and overall performance.
