Abstract
Purpose: The present research attempts to explore the relationship between work-life balance, social support and burnout whether work-life balance and social support might predict burnout. Approach and Methodology: Research data have been collected in five sectors via online survey which is conducted with three 5 points Likert type scales. Multiple regression analysis is applied to obtain predictors of burnout and in order to determine the differences between groups regarding socio-demographic factors, ANOVA analysis is performed via SPSS 20.0 software program. Findings and Results: According to the findings of the research; it could be briefly said that dimensions of work-life balance and social support are predictors of dimensions of burnout. More precisely; emotional support, neglecting life, life is just working and taking time for oneself dimensions are the predictors of depersonalization. Neglecting life, life is just working, work-life accordance, taking time for oneself and carrying work to home dimensions are the predictors of emotional exhaustion. Informational and instrumental support, neglecting life, work-life accordance and taking time for oneself dimensions are the predictors of personal accomplishment. Neglecting life, work-life accordance and carrying work to home dimensions are the predictors of involvement with people.
