description "Burnout is assumed to occur after unsuccessful self-esteem strivings, activated and maintained by enduring or recurring stressors in central life domains and roles. People high in performance-based self-esteem are vulnerable to such strivings and a scale for performance-based self-esteem, the Pbse scale, has been developed. Data from this scale is presented for a total of 17,177 persons from four studies, three of which were based on nationally representative samples of adult Swedes. The Pbse scale showed satisfactory psychometric properties with similar outcomes in the four samples, and the scale also showed convergent validity. These results are commented on and it is discussed whether or not performance-based self-esteem has increased in Western countries in recent decades. The self-esteem striving approach to burnout seems to have merits both from theoretical and preventive perspectives."
