Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) reliability estimates, sensitivity to change, and convergent validity with Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scales

PFI measure Cronbach’s α Test-retest reliability Sensitivity to detect change in sleep-related impairment: correlation Sensitivity to detect change in sleep-related impairment: AUC (95% CI) Correlation with closest MBI equivalent
Work exhaustion 0.86 0.80 0.36 0.67 (0.60–0.74) 0.72 (EE)
Interpersonal disengagement 0.92 0.71 0.32 0.64 (0.57–0.72) 0.59 (DP)
Overall burnout scale 0.92 0.80 0.37 0.68 (0.62–0.76) 0.71 (EE + DP)
Professional fulfillment 0.91 0.82 0.28 0.62 (0.54–0.70) 0.46 (PA)

MBI Scale names: EE = emotional exhaustion, DP = depersonalization, PA = personal accomplishment

All correlations are statistically significant (p < 0.05)
