Published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, Eastburg’s research aims to find evidence for (1) a relationship between increased levels of work-related social support and decreased burnout, (2) a relationship between personality traits and burnout, and (3) a significant interaction of social support and extraversion in relation to burnout. A strong negative correlation between work-related social support and burnout was found. Also, nurses whose supervisors received positive-feedback training showed significant reductions in emotional exhaustion. The study also provided further evidence extraverted nurses required more work-related peer support than did introverts to avoid emotional exhaustion. The findings suggest that multifaceted interventions may be more effective in combating burnout.
