%X This article investigates the psychometric properties of a mainstream burnout measure dedicated to teachers: the Maslach Burnout Inventory¨CEducators Survey (MBI-ES). The study used data gathered from a random sample of 1,206 primary school teachers in Poland to verify the construct validity of the MBI-ES. Eight alternative measurement models suggested in the literature were tested using confirmatory factor analysis. Contrary to many previous studies, this study did not support the oblique three-factor structure of the MBI-ES. A bifactor model with one general Burnout factor and three specific orthogonal factors of personal accomplishment, depersonalization, and emotional exhaustion showed best fit to the data. Additional analyses supported the measure¡¯s essential unidimensionality. The results yield theoretical implications for construct reconceptualization and practical guidelines for researchers and practitioners
