Abstract
The prevailing understanding of burnout is firmly entrenched in, and has been fundamentally influenced
by, the three component definition of the burnout concept proposed by Maslach and
Jackson (1981), as evidenced in its almost exclusive application in the burnout research and theoretical
developments (Maslach & Jackson, 1986; Shirorn, 1989). Although the construct validity
of the three factor burnout structure is well established, no research could be found which has investigated
the discriminant validny of this construct. Thus the aim of tha present study was to
determine how emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and low feelings of personal accomplishment
may relate differentially to conceptually related variables. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version]
