“…The results of this research align with previous research, which emphasizes that work supervision can improve social relations between other employees (Lim et al, 2021;López-Cabarcos et al, 2022). Furthermore, Iosim et al (2022) emphasized that work supervision can also increase the desire to continue understanding the company's work system. Work supervision with good coordination can also minimize work conflicts (Charoensukmongkol, 2022).…”

Improving work productivity is crucial for a company's ability to build strong trust, particularly with its customers. This study aims to explore how social relationships impact employee work productivity by acting as a mediator between supervision and motivation. The research utilizes a quantitative method, specifically a structural equation modeling (SEM) based on SmartPLS, and was carried out at PDAM Tirta Silau Piasa in Asahan Regency, involving 185 employees. Data was collected through surveys using a Likert scale. Findings reveal that social relationships play an important role in linking supervision and motivation to the work productivity of employees at PDAM Tirta Silau Piasa Asahan Regency. The study suggests that supervision should maintain a focus on professionalism to ensure objective outcomes. Additionally, enhancing employee motivation should include not just the employees but also offering rewards such as vacation packages for families and scholarships for children's education to keep motivation levels high.

“…One study with Italian professionals in neuro-rehabilitation medicine units showed higher managerial support associated with less emotional exhaustion [ 82 ]. Iosim et al found that high-quality supervision significantly reduces the risk of burnout in social workers [ 83 ]. A study exploring anxiety sources among HCWs disclosed one of the critical requests from HCWs was “Hear Me”–listen to and act on HCWs’ expert perspective and forefront experience, establishing channels of input and feedback [ 81 ].…”

While the global COVID-19 pandemic has been widely acknowledged to affect the mental health of health care workers (HCWs), attention to measures that protect those on the front lines of health outbreak response has been limited. In this cross-sectional study, we examine workplace contextual factors associated with how psychological distress was experienced in a South African setting where a severe first wave was being experienced with the objective of identifying factors that can protect against HCWs experiencing negative impacts. Consistent with mounting literature on mental health effects, we found a high degree of psychological distress (57.4% above the General Health Questionnaire cut-off value) and a strong association between perceived risks associated with the presence of COVID-19 in the healthcare workplace and psychological distress (adjusted OR = 2.35, p < 0.01). Our research indicates that both training (adjusted OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.21–0.81) and the reported presence of supportive workplace relationships (adjusted OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.27–0.97) were associated with positive outcomes. This evidence that workplace resilience can be reinforced to better prepare for the onset of similar outbreaks in the future suggests that pursuit of further research into specific interventions to improve resilience is well merited.

“…Moreover, it was found that therapists who have more years of supervision seem to be less likely to confront burnout, probably because during discussions with their colleagues they develop coping strategies to deal with stressors compared to therapists who have no supervision. The preventive role of supervision against burnout among mental health professionals has been documented by other researchers as well [ 52 ].…”

Background. Mental health professionals are at risk of experiencing vicarious trauma and burnout as a consequence of the nature of their work. Studies and scholars so far have demonstrated that empathy interacts directly with burnout, and they imply an interaction with vicarious trauma. However, research has paid little attention to the interplay among vicarious trauma, empathy, and burnout in mental health professionals who practice psychotherapy. This study examines the interplay between mental health professionals’ (those practicing psychotherapy) vicarious trauma and empathy and investigates the ways they contribute to burnout. Methods. The sample consisted of 214 mental health professionals (32 males and 182 females), working in the public and private sectors. Specific instruments were administered online to the sample: (a) an improvised demographic questionnaire (age, gender, education, specialty, years of experience, years of supervision); (b) the Counselor Burnout Inventory, validated for the Greek population by Kounenou et al.; (c) the Vicarious Trauma Scale; and (d) the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy. Results. Correlation analysis showed that empathy and vicarious trauma were positively related to burnout. Moreover, multiple regression analysis revealed that supervision, empathy, and, to a greater degree, vicarious trauma have a significant impact on burnout. Conclusion. Unlike relative research on burnout, gender and work experience did not seem to play a significant role in the prediction of burnout in the present study. Several suggestions for future studies, as well as implications for mental health practitioners, are discussed.
