Abstract

This study examines the factorial structures of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Sur-vey (MBI-GS) and of an inventory that assesses engagement, the hypothesized ‘opposite’ of burnout. Confirmatory factor-analyses in a sample of 514 Spanish workers using informationtechnologies in the workplace, corroborated the expected three-factor structure of the MBI(i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced efficacy) as well as the hypothesized three-factorstructure of engagement (i.e. vigor, dedication, and absorption). Additional hierarchical multiple regression analysis show the added value of the engagement scales to predict indicators of subjective well-being (i.e. organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and job enthusiasm) when one controls for burnout. Finally, study limitations and perspectives for future research on burnout and engagement are discussed.
