Abstract
This investigation examined the usefulness of a phase model of burnout. Data were provided from 426 men and women in police work using a questionnaire completed anonymously. Using high and low divisions on the three subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, 8 progressive phases of burnout were created. Measures of work setting, experienced stress, and emotional and physical well-being were significantly related to progressive phases of burnout. Work and personal exper iences grew worse as burnout progressed through more advanced phases. Comparisons with other data revealed significant differences in numbers of respondents in the various phases of burnout.Keywords
