“…Although various versions of the MBI have been proposed in order to improve the detection of Burnout in different population groups, several authors have pointed out theoretical and methodological flaws in the design of the MBI, which may compromise the results when the instrument is used in different populations from the one it was originally developed (Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner, & Schaufeli, 2001;Kristensen, Borritz, Villadsen, & Christensen, 2005). Garden (1987) and Milfont, Denny, Ameratunga, Robinson and Merry (2008) highlight the difficulties of using the MBI in populations that do not have an important human involvement in their work activities or that belong to other cultures. Doty e Glick (1998) and Milfont et al (2008) criticize the fact that the three subscales, proposed in the instrument, do not have the items formulated in the same direction, which was also pointed out by Demerouti et al (2001) and Demerouti, Bakker, Vardakou and Kantas (2003).…”
