Is there a relationship between burnout and objective performance? A critical review of 16 studies (2006, background): “Drawing on Thorndike (1914), Schaufeli and Taris (2005) argued that the basic tenet of fatigue is the intolerance of any effort.”
Measuring job and academic burnout with the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI): Factorial invariance across samples and countries (2015, methodology): “…(e.g., students have to attend classes and to achieve specific goals, such as passing exams; Schaufeli, Martínez, Pinto, Salanova, & Bakker, 2002), it is likely that students also feel exhausted and may develop an attitude of withdrawal with regard to their studies (Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
All day and all of the night: The relative contribution of two dimensions of workaholism to well-being in self-employed workers (2008, result): “This result was partly confirmed by Burke and Matthiesen ( 2004 ), who found among a sample of 211 Norwegian journalists that those qualifying as “work addicts” experienced high levels of exhaustion and cynicism (the two central components of the burnout syndrome; Schaufeli & Taris, 2005 ).”
Breaking through the loss cycle of burnout: The role of motivation (2011, background): “Burnout is a stress syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion and cynicism (Schaufeli & Taris, 2005), generally caused by high job demands and a shortage in job resources (Cordes & Dougherty, 1993).”
The Job Demands-Resources Model (2015, background): “In their seminal (2001) publication in the Journal of Applied Psychology, Demerouti et al. attempted to account for the antecedents of burnout, defined in terms of exhaustion/ fatigue and disengagement/withdrawal (the two key dimensions of burnout; Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
Self-Efficacy and Workaholism as Initiators of the Job Demands-Resources Model. (2012, background): “Exhaustion and cynicism are regarded as the “core components” of burnout (Schaufeli and Taris, 2005).”
Does self-efficacy matter for burnout and sickness absenteeism? The mediating role of demands and resources at the individual and team levels (2013, methodology): “Job burnout is conceived as a chronic stress syndrome whose main dimensions are exhaustion and cynicism, which represent its energetic and motivational components, respectively (Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
The Convergent Validity of Four Burnout Measures in a Chinese Sample: A Confirmatory Factor‐Analytic Approach (2011, background): “Second, from a theoretical point of view, it has been argued that exhaustion and cynicism—a form of mental distancing or withdrawal—constitute the core of burnout (Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
How do job characteristics contribute to burnout? Exploring the distinct mediating roles of perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness (2013, background): “90 typically indicate an acceptable fit (Schumacker & Lomax, 1996 ).”
A framework for analysing higher education performance: students' satisfaction, perceived learning outcomes, and dropout intentions (2014, background): “From the psychological factors, we study emotional exhaustion that is one of the two components of the burnout syndrome, the other being cynicism (Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
Exploring coping and optimism as predictors of academic burnout and performance among university students (2019, background): “…represent the core of burnout because substantial correlations have been observed between the two components, whereas efficacy correlates relatively weakly with exhaustion and cynicism (Dom enech-Betoret, 2009; Gonz alez-Rom a, Schaufeli, Bakker, & Lloret, 2006; Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
Workplace bullying and psychological health at work: The mediating role of satisfaction of needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness (2013, methodology): “Burnout is characterized by two core dimensions: (1) emotional exhaustion (low emotional energy) and (2) cynicism (mental withdrawal from one’s work; Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT)—Development, Validity, and Reliability (2020, methodology): “A long-list of burnout symptoms emerged that were clustered and interpreted using the conceptual framework of burnout formulated by Schaufeli and Taris [12].”
Is burnout a depressive disorder? A reexamination with special focus on atypical depression. (2014, methodology): “In line with most recent developments in burnout research, we did not use the reduced personal accomplishment dimension when computing this global score because of serious doubts regarding that dimension’s belonging to the burnout syndrome (Hakanen & Schaufeli, 2012; Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
Burnout and engagement: Identical twins or just close relatives? (2017, background): “These concepts tap the two central aspects of burnout (cf. Schaufeli & Taris, 2005).”
