Social Support and Occupational Stress: Talking to Supervisors.
Beehr, Terry A.; And Others
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v36 n1 p61-81 Feb 1990
Investigated contents of communications between supervisors and subordinates in the context of occupational stress as potential forms of social support for registered nurses (N=225). Determined nurses' perceptions of social support from their supervisors (functional social support) were more closely related to positive job-related communications and non-job-related communications than to negative job-related communications.
