The current study assessed the role of support sources and supervisor support type on job burnout. Consistent with prior research, the results indicate that supervisor support is associated with the lowest burnout (as compared to other support sources). Additionally, informational and instrumental (not emotional) supervisor support are significantly related to lower burnout. The study also assessed the moderating role of supervisor sex in the relationship between support and burnout. The findings indicate that employees with female supervisors have significantly lower burnout (at almost all levels of support) than those with male supervisors. Lastly, the study explored the moderating effect of workplace modality on the relationship between support and burnout. Results demonstrate that employees working more in-person benefit most from supervisor support. Ultimately, organizations and supervisors play a key role in ensuring employees have adequate support to help combat and reduce employee burnout.
