Maslach Burnout Toolkit™ for Educators

 

MBI-ES Authors: Christina Maslach, Susan E. Jackson, & Richard Schwab
AWS Authors: Michael P. Leiter & Christina Maslach

The Maslach Burnout Toolkit™ for Educators combines the Maslach Burnout Inventory™ Educators Survey (MBI-ES) and the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) to measure burnout in the worklife context.

Recognized as the leading measure of burnout, the MBI is validated by the extensive research that has been conducted in the more than 35 years since its initial publication. The MBI-ES is a version of the original MBI for use with educators, including teachers, administrators, other staff members, and volunteers working in any educational setting.

The AWS was created to assess employees’ perceptions of worksetting qualities that play a role in whether they experience work engagement or burnout. The AWS has demonstrated reliability and validity across a variety of occupational settings. It produces a profile of scores that permit users to identify key areas of strength or weakness in their organizational setting.

About Burnout

Burnout is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment that can occur among individuals who work with people in some capacity. A key aspect of the burnout syndrome is increased feelings of emotional exhaustion -- as emotional resources are depleted, workers feel they are no longer able to give of themselves at a psychological level. Another aspect of the burnout syndrome is the development of depersonalization, that is, negative, cynical attitudes and feelings about one's clients. This callous or even dehumanized perception of others can lead staff members to view their clients as somehow deserving of their troubles. ... A third aspect of the burnout syndrome, reduced personal accomplishment, refers to the tendency to evaluate oneself negatively, particularly with regard to one's work with clients. Workers may feel unhappy about themselves and dissatisfied with their accomplishments on the job.

The consequences of burnout are potentially very serious for workers, their clients, and the larger institutions in which they interact. --From the Maslach Burnout Inventory Manual, 1996

An excellent review of the implications of burnout on the brain is available from the APS Observer.  This article also includes discussion of the MBI and Areas of Worklife Survey constructs in burnout.
