The present study tested the factorial validity of the 9-item Bergen Burnout Inventory (BBI-9). The BBI-9 is comprised of three core dimensions: (1) exhaustion at work; (2) cynicism toward the meaning of work; and (3) sense of inadequacy at work. The study further investigated whether the three-factor structure of the BBI-9 remains the same across different organizations (group invariance) and measurement time points (time invariance). The factorial group invariance was tested using a cross-sectional design with data pertaining to managers (n=742), and employees working in a bank (n=162), an engineering office (n=236), a public sector organization divided into three service areas: administration (n=102), education and culture (n=581), and social affairs and health (n=1,505). Factorial time invariance was tested using longitudinal data pertaining to managers, with three measurements over a four-year follow-up period. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the three-factor structure of the BBI-9 was invariant across cross-sectional samples. The factorial invariance was also supported across measurement times. To conclude, the factorial structure of the BBI-9 was found to remain the same regardless of the sample properties and measurement times.
本研究检验了9项卑尔根倦怠量表（BBI-9）的因子效度。BBI-9由三个核心维度组成：（1）工作倦怠；（2）对工作意义的玩世不恭态度；（3）工作中的不足感。该研究进一步调查了BBI-9的三因素结构在不同组织（组间不变性）和测量时间点（时间不变性）上是否保持一致。使用横断面设计对因子组间不变性进行了检验，数据涉及经理（n=742）以及在银行工作的员工（n=162）、工程办公室的员工（n=236）、分为三个服务领域的公共部门组织的员工：行政部门（n=102）、教育和文化部门（n=581）以及社会事务和卫生部门（n=1505）。使用与经理相关的纵向数据对因子时间不变性进行了检验，在四年的随访期内进行了三次测量。验证性因子分析表明，BBI-9的三因素结构在横断面样本中是不变的。在不同测量时间点也支持因子不变性。总之，发现BBI-9的因子结构无论样本属性和测量时间如何都保持不变。
