THE MEDIATOR ROLE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AMID WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND BURNOUT OF EMPLOYEES' IN THE CONTEXT OF CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC PRECAUTIONS AND SOCIAL ISOLATION

Abstract

The aim of this research is investigating the effects of social support and work-life balance on employees' burnout in the context of coronavirus pandemic precautions and social isolation. The sample of the research consists of 422 participants in education, health, public, IT, retailing, service, commerce, tourism, transportation, industry and logistics sectors. The contribution of the research is exploring the relationship between burnout, social support and work-life balance. Findings of the research demonstrate that social support has an effect on work-life balance and also has partially mediating effect amid work-life balance and burnout. Observations suggest that burnout levels of women employees are extensive than men employees. To conclude; work-life balance, social support and burnout group levels differ according to gender whilst no significant difference among work-life balance, social support and burnout group levels according to marital status. As for changes in work life, salary and family life due to COVID-19 outbreak precautions, hypotheses are partly accepted.
