New Visual Scale to Measure Job Burnout

admin by admin

Employees and employers across industries are increasingly experiencing the harmful effects of chronic stress at work. Job burnout can lead to reduced productivity, increased absences and leaves, job turnover, and even hospitalization.

Existing methods of identifying job burnout are tedious and sometimes proprietary, but new research from the University of Notre Dame offers a faster and easier way.

Matches Measure: A Visual Scale of Job Burnout is forthcoming in the Journal of Applied Psychology from lead author Cindy Muir (Zapata), professor of management and organization at Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, along with Charles Calderwood from Virginia Tech and Dorian Boncoeur, assistant professor of management and organization at Mendoza.

Because the Matches Measure is a visual, it makes assessing burnout across countries as quick and easy as possible. It eliminates one of the reasons organizations fail to assess their employees regularly: time.

Similar to the smiley face pain scale used in doctors’ offices and hospitals (Wong-Baker FACES), the Matches Measure describes burnout (“Job burnout refers to feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted”) and instructs employees to select the match that best represents how burned out they currently feel.

Across multiple pre-registered studies surveying more than 1,200 participants in various industries, this research demonstrates that the visual scale is comparable to existing burnout measures, including the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The Matches Measure similarly relates to the known predictors and consequences of a job burnout, yet uses a more efficient, intuitive scale.

Given the advantages of a short, visual measure —reduced participant fatigue, the reduced need for translating feelings into words, and increased participant understanding, there is ample evidence to motivate future scholars to rely on the Matches Measure rather than shortening existing burnout scales.
