Resumo(s)
The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) has been gaining increased attention as a sound and
innovative instrument in its conceptualization of burnout. BAT has been adapted for several
countries, revealing promising validity evidence. This paper aims to present the psychometric
properties of the Brazilian and Portuguese versions of the BAT in both the 23-item and 12-item
versions. BAT’s validity evidence based on the internal structure (dimensionality, reliability, and
measurement invariance) and validity evidence based on the relations to other variables are the
focus of research. A cross-sectional study was conducted with two non-probabilistic convenience
samples from two countries (N = 3103) one from Brazil (nBrazil = 2217) and one from Portugal (nPortugal
= 886). BAT’s original structure was confirmed, and it achieved measurement invariance across
countries. Using both classic test theory and item response theory as frameworks, the BAT
presented good validity evidence based on the internal structure. Furthermore, the BAT showed
good convergent evidence (i.e., work engagement, co-worker support, role clarity, work overload,
and negative change). In conclusion, the psychometric properties of the BAT make this freely
available instrument a promising way to measure and compare burnout levels of Portuguese and
Brazilian workers.
