BMI
Burnout-Mobbing-Inventar
Short abstract
The BMI measures three typical work-related stress and motivation problems. In addition to burnout, boreout and mobbing, the BMI also contains two scales for recording general loss of motivation and psychological/physical secondary symptoms. The five scales comprise a total of 44 items. Reliability: Cronbach's alpha of the subscales varies between .85 and .88. Validity: The factorial structure was confirmed at the standardization sample (N = 5 520); furthermore, significant correlations with stress symptoms and stress coping were found, in line with expectations. The self-employed had the lowest values for boreout, demotivation and mobbing, employees the highest values for burnout. People with high values on the burnout scale deal with stress much less favourably than people with low values. Norms: Gender-specific norms exist for four age groups.
