MBI with 22 items assessed<br />three dimensions of job burnout and BFI with 44 items assessed the five<br />dimensions of personality. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was utilized to<br />examine the internal reliability of MBI (r=0.80) and BFI (r=0.82). Data were<br />analyzed with parametric tests (Pearson correlation, ANOVA, multiple<br />regression and so on) at P≥0.05. The findings indicated that those who had<br />higher neuroticism and lower extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness<br />and openness to experiences were more prone to experience job burnout. So,<br />if organizations use personality assessment as a part of their employment<br />system, they can identify those who are likely to experience burnout in the<br />future and have more precise organization and planning so that they can<br />guarantee employees' commitment to their future job situations.
