Based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory and validated occupational health research
Created by Dr. Christina Maslach and Dr. Susan Jackson in 1981, the MBI revolutionized how we understand occupational stress. Unlike simple "stress tests," the MBI measures three distinct dimensions: emotional exhaustion (feeling drained), cynicism/depersonalization (detachment from work), and reduced professional efficacy (feeling ineffective).
Our assessment follows the validated MBI structure while adding questions about work environment, control, support, and recovery capacity. This gives you not just a burnout score, but actionable insights into what's causing your burnout and how to recover.
Professor at UC Berkeley, created the three-dimensional burnout model used worldwide
Co-created the MBI and validated its three-factor structure across professions
First researcher to study burnout, focusing on exhaustion and depletion in helping professions
Studies job demands-resources model and organizational factors contributing to burnout
Created positive counterpoint to burnout, measuring vigor, dedication, and absorption
Integrates burnout research with broader occupational health and organizational factors
The core component of burnout. Feeling emotionally drained, depleted, and unable to give more to your work or relationships.
We assess: Physical fatigue, emotional depletion, feeling "used up," inability to face another day at work
Detachment from work, treating people as objects, loss of idealism, negative or excessively detached responses.
We assess: Callousness toward others, emotional numbness, cynical attitudes, loss of empathy
Feeling incompetent, lack of achievement, reduced productivity, difficulty accomplishing tasks that used to be easy.
We assess: Self-doubt, feeling ineffective, loss of confidence, inability to solve problems
We also assess six organizational risk factors identified by Maslach and Leiter:
Workload (overwhelming demands)
Control (lack of autonomy)
Reward (insufficient recognition)
Community (isolation, conflict)
Fairness (inequity, favoritism)
Values (ethical conflicts)
