A further contribution to the Italian validation of the Burnout Assessment Tool: Measurement invariance in teachers and employees
The Burnout Assessment Tool proposed by Schaufeli, De Witte and Desart (2019) is a recent instrument for assessing the burnout syndrome. This study aims to investigate the psychometric characteristics of the Italian version of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) and to contribute to the validation of the BAT scale by testing measurement invariance across two Italian samples, teachers and employees and concurrent validity examining the correlation between burnout and depression. Reliability was also examined. Confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) was used to test factorial validity on a sample of 554 employees and 226 teachers. Measurement invariance was tested using Multi-groups confirmatory factorial analysis (MCGFA). Results supported the factorial validity of the second-order factor model of the BAT. Reliability and concurrent validity were also supported. Finally, the results confirmed that the Italian version of the BAT was invariant across the samples. Results showed that the BAT is a valid and reliable tool to measure the burnout syndrome in the Italian context for teachers and employees. Limitations and suggestions for further research are also discussed.
