Abstract
Rooted in Bradburn’s conceptualization of emotional experience as the interaction of positive and negative affect, Leslie J. Francis developed a model of burnout that served as an alternative to the more ubiquitous Maslach model. The positive and negative affect components of Francis’ burnout model are occupational emotional exhaustion and occupational satisfaction. Francis developed and tested a measure based on this model, the Francis Burnout Inventory (FBI), designed specifically for application among clergy. The strong psychometric properties of this instrument and continued support for its theoretical basis suggest that the FBI could be modified to work among a broader population, in particular those in people-facing occupations. Thus, the instrument developed for and tested in this study is the FBIP, the Francis Burnout Inventory for People-Workers, which consists of two constituent measures, the Scale of Emotional Exhaustion in People-Work (SEEP), and the Satisfaction in People-Work Scale (SIPS). These measures were tested with 1261 participants. The findings indicated favorable psychometric properties and support for the balanced affect model of burnout.
