Burnout
Abstract
Burnoutrefers to the emotional depletion and loss of motivation that result from prolonged exposure to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors on the job. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is one of the most widely accepted scales and is composed of the three dimensions of exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy. With more than 35 years of research and a solid theoretical foundation, researchers in this field are increasingly dedicating themselves to the development of effective and lasting interventions to reduce job burnout. Successful interventions include the consideration of the individual within the context of the workplace. New research focuses on job engagement, the opposite of burnout, which might suggest effective solutions for alleviating or preventing burnout.

Exposure to chronic work stressors results in burnout, which has a high prevalence among police officers.
“In addition, the exposure to chronic work stressors results in the psychological syndrome of burnout (Leiter et al., 2015), which has a high prevalence among police officers (Backteman-Erlanson et al., 2013; De la Fuente et al., 2013; Queirós et al., 2020; Schaible & Six, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
