Conceptual mapping of the four well-being dimensions against the perceived stress scale and burnout assessment tool
| Dimension | Relevant PSS items | Relevant BAT items | Identified gaps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Psychological resilience | PSS indirectly measures coping and self-efficacy: PSS-4 (confidence in handling problems), PSS-5 (things going your way), PSS-7 (controlling irritations), PSS-8 (feeling on top of things) | Indirectly reflected in exhaustion and emotional impairment (as signs of low resilience) | Neither instrument measures resilience as a positive capacity. No items on coping, adaptability, or self-regulation in digital contexts |
| Social interactions | Not addressed (PSS is individual-focused) | Not addressed (focuses on individual burnout symptoms) | No coverage of collegial relationships, peer support, online/offline connectedness, or digital isolation. Requires new items on social ties and sense of community in digital settings |
| Digital work satisfaction | PSS indirectly measures work satisfaction (not digital specific): PSS-2 (control over important things) and PSS-6 (inability to cope with all tasks). It captures overload, but not satisfaction | Indirectly reflected in cognitive/emotional impairment | No items on satisfaction with digital tasks or the organization and manageability of digitally mediated workloads |
| Perceived institutional support | Not represented in any PSS item | Not represented in any BAT item | No items capture institutional support |
