In this study, in which the effect of burnout on job satisfaction will be investigated, burnout will be used as an independent variable whereas job satisfaction will be used as a dependent variable. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) will be used to measure employees’ burnout dimension. The scale was developed by Maslach (1981) and adapted to Turkish and tested for validity and reliability by Ergin (1992). The scale consists of three sub-dimensions, namely emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a feeling of decrease in personal accomplishment, and 22 items. For job satisfaction, on the other hand, Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire will be used. This questionnaire was developed by Weiss et al. (1976) and its original (longer) form contains 100 statements. Its shorter version involving 20 questions will be used in this study.
