Child protection workers experience high stress and burnout. This study explores how employment-based social capital (EBSC) mitigates burnout through secondary traumatic stress (STS) and the moderating role of dependent children. Findings suggest EBSC reduces STS, but its protective effects are weaker for parents, emphasizing the need for family-friendly workplace support.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Identify key components of moderated mediation in the EBSC-burnout relationship.
Examine how dependent children influence the EBSC-STS link and its impact on burnout.
Develop workplace strategies to enhance EBSC while addressing challenges for employees with dependent children.
