Many studies found direct relations between burnout, role conflict, role ambiguity and work relationships, but few have verified the possibility of moderation and mediation effects between these variables. This cross-sectional study investigates these two possibilities in an attempt to clarify the function of work relationships in the association between role stressors and burnout. This study was conducted on a sample of 263 French-speaking Canadian workers from nine different organizations. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted in order to investigate the purported interaction between social relationships and role stressors.

Conversely, the results revealed rather that social relationships did Vol. 4, No. 9 International Journal of Business and Management 4 mediate the relationship between role stressors and burnout.
