A meta-analytic validation study of the Shirom–Melamed burnout measure: Examining variable relationships from a job demands–resources perspective.

= 53,484). Results revealed that the three subscales of physical fatigue, cognitive weariness, and emotional exhaustion all displayed strong intercorrelations and that the SMBM was stable over time, as suggested by high test-retest estimates. Relationships with demographic controls, such as age, sex, and hours worked, were low in magnitude or nonsignificant. Following a job demands-resources perspective, we examined the nomological network of the SMBM, finding strong support for associations with job and personal predictors, motivational covariates, and job and personal outcomes. These findings, inferring the construct validity of the SMBM, hold implications for future research and practice, including support for its use in organizational research and applied settings.
