“…Bakker [4] states that people who want to change the world for the better often pursue a professional career in public service and are sometimes characterised by a ‘general altruistic motivation to serve the interests of a community of people, a state, a nation or humankind’ [5]. However, these employees face environments characterised by changes in performance expectations, high work demands, a hierarchical structure and bureaucratisation of work processes [6]; these factors tend to lead to the significant deterioration of employee well-being [7].…”

The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model is an integrative theoretical framework for monitoring workplaces with the aim to increase job engagement and prevent burnout. This framework is of great interest since the management of job resources and demands can negatively affect employees, especially in organisational contexts characterised by high job demands. This study uses the job demands-resources model to investigate the relationships between organisational climate, role stress, and employee well-being (burnout and job satisfaction) in public organisations. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The research participants are 442 public employees. A structural equation model was developed (organisational climate, job satisfaction, burnout, role stress). These confirm that organisational climate is correlated with role stress (−0.594), job satisfaction (0.746), and burnout (−0.408), while role stress is correlated with burnout (0.953) and job satisfaction (−0.685). Finally, there is a correlation between burnout and job satisfaction that is negative and significant (−0.664). The study confirms that a positive organisational climate could lead to less stressed and burned-out workers and, at the same time, to more satisfied employees with improved well-being.

“…The purpose of this study was to test the measurement invariance of the SBI (Gil-Monte, 2019 ) among professionals across 17 countries and regions. The SBI has shown a four-factor structure that remains constant in the different studies that have analyzed its psychometric properties in Latin America (e.g., Carlotto et al, 2015 ; García et al, 2022 ; Gil-Monte et al, 2013 ; Olivares-Faúndez et al, 2018 ) and in Europe (e.g., Bosle & Gil-Monte 2010 ; Figueiredo-Ferraz et al, 2013 ; Gil-Monte & Manzano-García, 2015 ; Misiolek et al, 2017; Viotti et al, 2015 ). These results indicate that the SBI offers good evidence of construct validity.…”

“…Taking into consideration the SBI factor structure, previous exploratory factorial analysis studies have shown a four-factor structure similar to that of the model, representing Enthusiasm toward the job, Psychological Exhaustion, Indolence, and Guilt (Bosle & Gil-Monte, 2010 ; Esteves et al, 2020 ; Olivares & Gil-Monte, 2007 ). Results have been replicated through confirmatory factor analysis, obtaining empirical support for the four-factor structure model across countries and occupational groups in several Latin American countries: Brazil (Carlotto et al, 2015 ), Chile (Olivares-Faúndez et al, 2018 ), Colombia (García et al, 2022 ), and Mexico (Gil-Monte et al, 2013 ); and in some European countries: Germany (Bosle & Gil-Monte, 2010 ), Italy (Viotti et al, 2015 ), Poland (Misiolek et al, 2017), Portugal (Figueiredo-Ferraz et al, 2013 ), and Spain (Gil-Monte & Manzano-García, 2015 ). In addition, systematic reviews and meta-analysis studies have concluded that the SBI possesses adequate psychometric properties for the study of burnout (Serna et al, 2018 ).…”

Studies on the prevalence of burnout in professionals in service organizations who work in direct contact with the clients or users of the organization have concluded that burnout is a serious health disorder that has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant advantage of the Spanish Burnout Inventory (SBI) over other instruments is that it provides a broader conceptualization of burnout by including feelings of guilt as a dimension of burnout to explain its development. However, the measurement invariance of the SBI across countries has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to test the measurement invariance of the SBI among professionals across 17 countries and regions in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, and in different languages. All the countries showed a good fit to the four-factor model, except the Indian sample, which was excluded from the measurement invariance study. Using the alignment method, it was possible to verify the scalar measurement invariance of the four SBI factors across 15 countries and one Spanish region (16 samples). The comparison of estimated latent means indicates that France is the country with the lowest scores on the Enthusiasm factor and the highest scores on the negative factors (Exhaustion, Indolence, and Guilt). In contrast, the Andean countries, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, show the highest latent means on the Enthusiasm factor and the lowest means on the negative factors. These results support the validity of the SBI in the countries and regions in Europe and Latin America included in this study.

“…Data were collected through the following instruments: (1) sociodemographic questionnaire (sex, age, education, marital status, children), (2) work-related questionnaire (time working at the institution, time in the role) and (3) occupational stressors questionnaire (type of job performed; work hours; schedule; workload; diversity of work; complexity of work; public served; relationship with colleagues; relationship with heads; physical conditions of work; organization of work). The items were assessed through a 5-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 0 (zero) "Not stressful at all to 4 (four) "Very stressful", (4) Spanish Burnout Inventory -SBI (Gil-Monte, 2005;Carlotto, Gil-Monte, & Figueiredo-Ferraz, 2015). The latter consists of 20 items distributed into four subscales called: enthusiasm toward the job, assessed inversely, low scores in this dimension mean high Burnout levels (5 items, α = 0.86, e.g.…”

The objectives of this study were to identify the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) and the predictive power of occupational stressors for its dimensions - Enthusiasm toward the job (inverse), Psychological Exhaustion, Indolence and Guilt. This study assessed a random sample of 538 public servants from a State Court of Justice (RS/Brazil) who answered the Spanish Burnout Inventory, a sociodemographic questionnaire, a work-related questionnaire and and occupational stressors questionnaire. The prevalence identified was 6.5% for Profile 1 BS (Enthusiasm toward the job - inverse, Psychological Exhaustion, Indolence) and 4.4% for Profile 2 BS (Enthusiasm toward the job - inverse, Psychological Exhaustion, Indolence, Guilt). Stressors that predicted Burnout Syndrome were work content, work organization, type of public served, social environment of work, physical conditions of the workplace, work hours, workload, relationship with heads, and relationship with colleagues. Results suggest a need for intervention in occupational stressors present in work organization.
