Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI)
Burnout is not the same as being tired after a busy week or needing a weekend to recover. It is a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.
Burnout is characterized by three dimensions:
- Energy depletion or exhaustion
- Detachment, negativity, or cynicism toward work
- Reduced professional efficacy

- Exhaustion Feeling physically, mentally, or emotionally drained, depleted, and in need of recovery.
- Disengagement Feeling detached from your work, less interested, more cynical, or emotionally distant from work tasks and responsibilities.
