An important phenomenon associated with this development is the increase in shift work where “standard” day workers, that is, working a schedule between 07.30–8.00 and 17.00–18.00 h, from Monday to Friday, account only for approximately one-third of the global adult working force ( Costa, 2003) with the implication that the majority of workers are working in “non-standard” schedules, like shifts. Modern society has changed considerably over the last few years due to technology development and market globalization, which has imposed additional challenges to workers, usually reflected in higher stress levels (i.e., occupational, social, and physical stress). We showed that burnout significantly correlated with mental and physical fatigue emphasizing the vital critical role that these variables play with safety in the aviation industry. Data gathered with the OLBI displayed good evidence of validity related to internal structure, to other variables, with good evidence of reliability. As far as we know, this is the first study addressing the burnout syndrome in this occupational group. Here, we report the psychometric properties of data gathered with the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) in a sample of Portuguese Aircraft maintenance technicians.

Burnout can be measured using several psychometric instruments that range in dimensionality, number of items, copyrighted, and free use formats. From its initial conceptualization as emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced personal efficacy for the help professions, burnout has received increasing attention in modern times, especially after the 2019 WHO’s inclusion of this syndrome in the ICD-11 list.
