This study focused on empathic communication and burnout (Miller, Stiff, & Ellis, 1988). Specifically, it explored the role of social support in reducing the likelihood of burnout among 112 caregivers from a human-services organization. The results revealed that social support helps caregivers provide better treatment to clients and reduces symptoms of burnout. Specifically, coworker support enhanced caregiver communicative responsiveness and supervisor support reduced caregiver perceptions of depersonalization. In addition, caregivers who reported high levels of emotional exhaustion indicated a desire to leave the organization.
