Abstract

The study aimed to verify the invariance measurement at its four levels (Configural, Metric or weak, Scalar or strong invariance, and residual level), Maslach's measure of psychological Burnout across the Mecca gender variable, the study sample was formed (377) An employee in the educational sector, The results showed the conformity of the working structure where the confirmatory working analysis was performed using AMOS-(22) software, (6) compatibility quality gauges were used between the model and the data and (4) compatibility quality indicators of the triple factor model showed a good level of conformity, and the comparative conformity indicator was used (CFI) and the TLI (TLI) where they were very close to the quantified values (0.90) The results also showed an appropriate conformity with the form model that serves as the basic model in light of the indicators of good conformity where the poor resemblance to the structure of the Maslash scale of psychological combustion across males and females in Saudi society has been achieved and the value of CFI, RMSEA, TLI and SRMR has fallen below 0.01. The results also showed differences between the CFI, RMSEA and TLI conformity indices between strong and rigorous models below 0.010. This is an indication of the equal variations of measurement errors of the MSM vocabulary across THC and females in a sense that provides rigorous similarity. The researchers recommended that the measure could be used to study gender differences at the provincial level to determine the degree of psychological Burnout.
