Which of the following describes the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory's dimensions?

• A. Personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout
• B. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment
• C. Physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and emotional fatigue
• D. Job satisfaction, engagement, and well-being

Answer: (A)

The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory focuses on three specific areas of fatigue and exhaustion: personal burnout, which reflects overall energy depletion; work-related burnout, which is tied to the demands and stressors of the job; and client-related burnout, which arises from interactions with clients or patients. This trio captures burnout as it manifests in general life energy, in work demands, and in the interpersonal strain of professional client contact. That structure is what makes this option the best match.

The other descriptions correspond to different concepts. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment come from the Maslach Burnout Inventory, not the Copenhagen one. Physical, mental, and emotional fatigue isn’t the established three-domain framework of the CBI. Job satisfaction, engagement, and well-being describe broader well-being constructs rather than the specific burnout dimensions the Copenhagen Inventory uses.
