CHARRY, Claudia; GARZON, Angélica; POZO, Carmen  and  BRETONES, Blanca. Factorial invariance of academic burnout for spanish-speaking students. RMIE [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.79, pp.1195-1215. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this study was to collect evidence of the psychometric properties of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MMBI-SS) in a sample of 359 university students: 152 Colombians and 207 Spaniards. Factorial analysis confirmed the structure of the test and the invariance of the model in the two samples; reliability coefficients were obtained for each dimension, along with evidence of discriminating validity on the Flourishing Scale. The results showed that the model adjusted well to both samples, at an acceptable level. Strict factorial invariance and reliability indexes greater than 0.8 were reached. Moderate inverse correlations were obtained with regard to the construct of state of flux. The results demonstrated the reliability and validity of the construct and the discriminant, of MMBI-SS as well as stability in both samples.
