TABLE 5.

Proportion of respondents reporting concerning levels on the SHS, CES-D10, WLI, and ITL scales at various thresholds on the EE metrics.

	SHS score <5 (%)	CES-D10 score ≥10 (%)	WLI score >2 (%)	ITL score ≥50 (%)
EE9item:
No EE	6.8	0.0	11.4	6.6
Mild EE	19.0	4.2	36.2	18.4
Moderate EE	48.7	28.2	58.4	55.0
Severe EE	68.6	70.3	84.1	82.1
EE5item:
No EE	5.1	0.0	13.5	6.7
Mild EE	16.6	3.2	33.2	15.0
Moderate EE	42.9	17.4	52.4	47.0
Severe EE	60.0	52.7	78.6	70.6
EE1item5pt:
No EE	9.5	1.9	24.0	12.3
Mild EE	23.8	4.5	38.0	14.4
Moderate EE	38.7	16.0	46.4	43.2
Severe EE	45.9	30.9	62.9	53.9
EE1item7pt:
≥1 time/week	53.1	43.8	74.6	61.9

The cutoffs for concerning levels are SHS (<5) (Lyubomirsky and Lepper, 1999), CES-D10 (≥10) (Björgvinsson et al., 2013), WLI (>2) (Sexton et al., 2017; Schwartz et al., 2019), and ITL (≥50). For five-point agree-disagree metrics (EE9item, EE5item, EE1item5pt) scores of 0 = no EE, 0.01–49.9 = mild EE, 50–74.9 = moderate EE, and ≥75 = severe. For the EE1item7pt metric, a cutoff of “once a week or more” is often used to indicate a concerning level (West et al., 2009; Brady et al., 2020). EE9item, 9-item emotional exhaustion metric; EE5item, 5-item emotional exhaustion metric; EE1item5pt, single item emotional exhaustion metric using five-point agree-disagree scale; EE1item7pt, single item emotional exhaustion metric using 7-point frequency response scale; CES-D10, center for epidemiological studies depression scale 10-item; SHS, subjective happiness scale; WLI, work-life integration; ITL, intention to leave current position.
