In this study, theresearchers used the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI) to investigate factors contributing to burnout for professionals in theconcrete industry. The internal consistency was tested for each of thedimensions of the AWS and MBI. Structural equation modeling was applied toanalyze the structural relationships between the dimensions of the AWS and MBI.The results showed that respondents experienced heavy workloads and,subsequently, elevated exhaustion, cynicism, and high professional efficacy.
