摘要

Burnout has been widely studied due to its negative impact on employee well-being and performance. The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) was developed to provide a more comprehensive assessment of burnout, capturing both core and secondary symptoms within a unified framework. In this model, the core symptoms of burnout are exhaustion, mental distance, and impaired emotional and cognitive control, while secondary symptoms include psychological stress and psychosomatic complaints.

The present study examines the psychometric properties of the Hungarian workplace version of the Burnout Assessment Tool, which was published by the original authors as well, in a Hungarian sample (N = 1398, 66% female, mean age = 36.82 years, 30.76% with secondary education, 34.23% with a university degree). For validity testing, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Satisfaction with Work Scale, the Basic Psychological Needs at Work Scale, and the Work and Meaning Inventory were also administered. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original factor structure formulated by the original authors (fit indices: χ² = 2084.55, p < .001; SRMR = 0.05; RMSEA = 0.06 (CI = 0.06–0.07), CFI = 0.90; TLI = 0.89), and the instrument demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. Additional analyses were conducted across age groups, university student status, and occupational groups. Overall, the findings indicate that the Hungarian version of the BAT is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing burnout in the workplace.
