Psychology Occupational Psychology Organizational Behavior Psychological Tests burnout measurement invariance measurement equivalence sex differences employee well-being confirmatory factor analysis item response theory ideal point response process differential prediction differential item functioning This study investigated potential causes of extant group mean differences of self-reported levels of burnout across sex. Based on the origins of burnout as an interpersonal construct, combined with research showing differences in how men and women perceive and resolve interpersonal conflict and stress, it was hypothesized that statistical artifacts, namely violations of the measurement invariance assumption, were present. It was further hypothesized that these artifacts were causing differences in the prevalence of self-reported burnout and that removing them would reduce the size of such differences. Participants (n = 579) completed three separate measures of burnout: the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, as well as several measures of nomological correlates of burnout. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and item response theory approaches to measurement invariance. Results indicated that no violations of measurement invariance were present. Implications for future research and practice are discussed. 2015-04-09 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1428162452 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1428162452 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
