Abstract
Burnout is a relatively common phenomenon in the work context. It is a work syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, disengagement from work and reduced professional effectiveness. Occupational stress is a significant concern among military police officers, with high rates of physical and psychological symptoms and burnout syndrome. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. 224 military police officers of both sexes, assigned to the Pacification Police Units in the State of Rio de Janeiro, participated in this research. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed a very good fit of the hierarchical models, one second-order factor and two first-order factors, and the oblique model, two correlated factors, to the empirical data. The Exhaustion and Disengagement from Work factors showed strong levels of internal consistency. Therefore, evidence of validity and reliability was obtained for the measure. It is expected that the instrument can be useful in evaluating and supporting interventions to reduce suffering and promote the mental health of these public security workers.
