Published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine, this study examines how job stress and work support predicts the experience of burnout, and how burnout is related to absenteeism and job performances in a sample of 73 nurses. Analyses indicated that levels of work support and job stress were both significant predictors of burnout. The findings suggest that burnout may not only negatively impact healthcare providers, but also may influence objective absenteeism and supervisor perceptions of employee performance.
