Instrument
In order to collect the data for this experiment, a survey questionnaire, MBI, was taken
from Aeria (1995). An interview schedule was also adapted to elicit further information
from the respondents. The questionnaire and interview schedule was validated by a
lecturer in IPBA so as to ensure that the instrument was appropriate for its purpose.
Data Collection Procedures
Before the MBI was administered to the sample, it was piloted on three lecturers.
These lecturers were asked to comment on the clarity of the items and to highlight any
items that they felt were ambiguous. Feedback from the lecturers showed that there
were no items that needed corrections.
After the pilot run, the MBI was administered to the sample. The responses to the survey
questionnaire were then analyzed. Based on the analysis, an interview schedule was
developed to elicit further information from the lecturers with respect to the level of
burnout among lecturers.
