Abstract
Studies published on the validity of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT), a novel burnout instrument, have gained traction in the literature over recent years. The BAT has been successfully shown to be equivalent across representative samples when modelled as a second-order/higher-order model. However, this specification is not free of criticism and the
bifactor approach has been presented as the alternative model specification. Therefore, a study investigating the construct-relevant multidimensionality of the BAT across many representative samples is warranted to reassess a global burnout factor (n = 9041). We implemented bifactor exploratory structural equation modelling to ascertain the relevance of a global burnout factor and specific component factors (bifactor-ESEM). According to the standardised loadings and McDonald's omega coefficients, the results showed that the
bifactor-ESEM model had a strong global burnout factor with relevant specific factors beyond the global factor. The model also showed measurement invariance across countries and genders. We also present a figure that compares the global burnout mean scores of the
countries. All in all, the results of this study reaffirmed that BAT-assessed burnout can be modelled with an equivalent global burnout score across conditions
