BAKKERTHE MEASUREMENT OF ENGAGEMENT AND BURNOUT: A TWO SAMPLE CONFIRMATORY FACTORANALYTIC APPROACH(Received 15 December, 2000; Accepted 5 August, 2001)ABSTRACT. This study examines the factorial structure of a new instrument tomeasure ENGAGEMENT , the hypothesized opposite of burnout in a sample of univer-sity students (N=314) and employees (N=619). In addition, the factorial structureof the maslach - burnout inventory -General Survey (MBI-GS) is assessed and the rela-tionship between ENGAGEMENT and burnout is examined. Simultaneous confirmatoryfactor analyses in both samples confirmed the original three-factor structure of theMBI-GS (exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy) as well as the hypothesizedthree-factor structure of ENGAGEMENT (vigor, dedication, and absorption).
Originally, burnout as measured with the Maslach-Burnout Inventory (MBI–MaslachandJackson,1981)wasdefinedasathree-dimensional syndrome of emotional exhaustion (i.e. the draining of emotional resources because of demanding interpersonal contacts with others), depersonalization (i.e. a negative, callous, and cynical attitude towards
