Abstract

The aim of this study was modeling of the mediating role of perceived social support in relationship between work-family conflict with job burnout in satellite employees of the oil industry start-up and exploitation company. The current research was a descriptive research and structural equations type. The statistical population of the satellite employees of the oil industry start-up and exploitation company (OICO) in the spring of 2023 was 4500 people. 500 people were selected based on Cochran formula and with convenience sampling. To collect data Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) of Maslach, Jackson, Leiter, Schaufeli & Schwab (1986), work-family conflict questionnaire (WFCQ) of Carlson, Kacmar & Williams (2000) and multidimensional perceived social support scale (MSPSS) of Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet & Farley (1988) were used. Data were analyzed using structural equations with SPSS version 28 and AMOS software. The findings of this research indicated that the work-family conflict (p<0.05, β =.59) has a significant direct effect on job burnout. Finally, perceived social support (p<0.05, β = -.19) has a significant direct effect on job burnout and was able significant mediating role in the relationship between work-family conflict and job burnout. Also, proposed model had an acceptable fitness to the data (RMSEA=0/018 p<0/05) and analyses also revealed that %52 of variance of job burnout was explained. It can be concluded that due to the significant mediating role of perceived social support, it is possible to prevent burnout in satellite employees by using family-oriented interventions.
