Abstract

The objective of this study was to validate the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) version applied to teachers of physical education area, in the context of Dominican Republic. The study involved 162 physical educators assigned to both public and private schools. The psychometric properties of the instrument were analyzed. The results supported as a best factor solution a multidimensional model represented by the three original subscales in which some items were omitted in order to support the validity and reliability of the instrument, yielding significant values ​​for Cronbach's alpha for the three subscales (.86 emotional exhaustion, .67 personal fulfillment, .60 for depersonalization). This version was invariant with respect to gender; However, the results of this study support the validity and reliability of the instrument in the applied context, except for the limitations identified in previous studies worldwide in both the Spanish and English versions of the MBI questionnaire.
