Academic Librarian Burnout: A Survey Using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) (submitted)
Journal of Library Administration
(2020)
Abstract
In the Spring of 2018 the authors administered the highly validated and reliable Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) work-related sub-scale to 1628 academic librarians employed within the United States. Academic librarians reported a total work-related burnout score of 49.6. Overall, female participants who were 35-44 years of age reported the highest levels of work-related burnout with males and older individuals reporting the lowest levels of work-related burnout. This study also revealed some interesting information about non-binary/third-gender librarians that suggests further research is warranted.
