An exploratory factor analysis of the Job Burnout Syndrome Assessment Questionnaire (CESQT) in a Ch

The purpose of this study was to analyse the factor structure of the "Cuestionario para la Evaluatión del Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo" (CESQT) or Job Burnout Syndrome Assessment Questionnaire. Sample was composed of 116 Chilean service professional workers. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), 4 factors were extracted that reproduced a structure consistent with the original model. However, item number 7, designed to assess Indolence, was grouped with items of Psychological exhaustion, and item 18, designed to assess Psychological exhaustion, was negatively grouped with items of Enthusiasm towards work. It is concluded that the results of the study support the factor validity of the CESQT, and the adequate internal consistency of its dimensions, hence it is an adequate instrument in assessing burnout in Chilean professionals.
