Correlates of Psychological Burnout Phases among Police Officers
Abstract
This investigation examined the usefulness of a phase model of burnout. Eight hundred and twenty-eight men and women in police work provided data using a questionnaire completed anonymously. Eight progressive phases of burnout were created using high and low divisions on the three subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Measures of work setting, experienced stress, and emotional and physical well-being were significantly related to progressive phases of burnout. Work and personal experience grew worse as burnout progressed through more advanced phases. Comparisons with other data revealed potential occupational and organizational differences in numbers of respondents in various phases of burnout.

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.
