TL;DR: In this paper, the main and interactive effects of role stress, job autonomy, and social support in predicting burnout and turnover intention among social workers were examined, and it was shown that job autonomy had a negative direct effect on turnover intention, but not on burnout.

Abstract: This study examines the main and interactive effects of role stress, job autonomy, and social support in predicting burnout and turnover intention among social workers. This study included a subsample of 346 social workers identified from a cross-sectional random survey of 1,500 California state-registered social workers. Adjusted for age, gender, organizational tenure, and annual salary, structural equation analyses revealed that role stress had a positive direct effect on burnout. The variables of social support and job autonomy had a negative direct effect on turnover intention, but not on burnout. Results showed that job autonomy interacted with role stress in predicting burnout, while social support interacted with role stress in predicting turnover intention. Study results suggest that creating decentralized job conditions is essential for preventing burnout, and that building supportive job conditions is needed to retain social workers who are experiencing high role stress.

The role of job resources in the relation between perceived employability and turnover intention: A prospective two-sample study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors hypothesize that the relationship between perceived employability and turnover intention is stronger when job resources (job control, social support from the supervisor and colleagues) are low.

Effects of Co-Worker and Supervisor Support on Job Stress and Presenteeism in an Aging Workforce: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that presenteeism is reduced by increased respect and concern for employee stress at the workplace, by necessary support at work from colleagues and employers, and by the presence of comfortable interpersonal relationships among colleagues and between employers and employees.

Hansung Kim,Sun Young Lee +1 more
TL;DR: The results showed that upward communication moderated the relationship between stress and burnout, and a conceptual model of supervisory communication had not only an indirect effect on burnout and turnover intention through its effect on stress, but also a direct effect on turnover intention.

The job demands-resources model of burnout
TL;DR: Results confirmed the 2-factor structure (exhaustion and disengagement) of a new burnout instrument--the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory--and suggested that this structure is essentially invariant across occupational groups.
