In order to assess the construct validity and reliability of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) in a Non-Western setting, the instrument was administered to 223 Jordanian teachers. Responses to the MBI were subjected to principal factors analysis. Three factors, rotated obliquely, accounted for 42% and 43% of the total variance of the frequency and intensity dimensions, respectively. The correlations between these two dimensions for each of the three subscales were rather large and ranged from .84 and .92. The findings tend to support the contention of past researchers that the Depersonalization subscale can be broken into two subscales. However, the support was only partial. Reliabilities were also cornputed for the subscales and found acceptable. They ranged from .71 to .84.
