Constructing the Japanese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey: Confirmatory factor analysis
ConclusionThe Japanese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey needs minor changes to improve the fit of its three factor model, but the scale as a whole can be used to adequately assess overall academic burnout in Japanese university students. Although the scale was back‐translated, two items measuring exhaustion whose expressions overlapped should be modified, and all items measuring inefficacy should be reversed in order to statistically clarify the factorial difference between the scale's three factors.
