The Role of Mindfulness and Resilience in Predicting Job Burnout
colleagues. Data were collected through an online questionnaire, which in-
cluded an introductory speech on the purpose of the study and instructions
for completing the questionnaire. The study was conducted in accordance
with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments,
and the American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychol-
ogists and Code of Conduct. All participants provided informed consent to
participate in this study.
Statistical Analysis
Data were analysed by using IBM SPSS Statistics 27. To explore the factor
structure of the Slovenian versions of the BRS and CBI-W scales, exploratory
factor analysis (EFA) was performed. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure
of sampling adequacy and the Bartlett’s test of sphericity were used to de-
termine whether the data set was appropriate for factor analysis. Reliability
of the instruments was measured using Cronbach’s alpha (α) and McDon-
ald’s omega (ω) coefficients. Descriptive statistics were presented, includ-
ing means, standard deviations, maximum and minimum values. To deter-
mine the differences in resilience, work-related burnout, and mindfulness of
the participants regarding their work experience, the Kruskal-Wallis nonpara-
metric test was calculated using eta squared (η2) as the effect size measure
(ES) with small η2 ≥ 0.01; medium η2 ≥ 0.06; large η2 ≥ 0.14). Post-hoc compar-
isons were performed using the Mann-Whitney test with Bonferroni correc-
tion with r being calculated as the ES. Thresholds for r were set to small r ≥ 0.1;
medium r ≥ 0.3; large r ≥ 0.5. Associations between the variables were calcu-
lated using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Multiple regression analysis
was used to verify the predictive value of resilience and dispositional mind-
fulness on work-related burnout.
Results
A preliminary analysis was conducted to check the suitability of the data for
further statistical processing. There were no missing values, which means
that the participants fully completed the measurement scales.
In addition to the Slovenian form of the MAAS, which has demonstrated
adequate validity, the factor structure of the Slovenian versions of BRS and
CBI-W was determined using EFA. The KMO measure of sampling adequacy
for the six items of the BRS was 0.87 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was signif-
icant (χ2 = 642.53, p < 0.001), indicating that correlations were appropriate for
factor analysis. Both the eigenvalue criterion and the scree plot indicated a
one-factor solution that accounted for 61.20 of the total variance, with item
