This study was conducted to investigate whether social support and life satisfaction are predicatives of burnout levels of people working in various occupational groups. 116 people from three different occupational groups participated in the study. Data were collected by using Maslach Burnout Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Life Satisfaction Scale. According to the results of the multiple regression, social support and life satisfaction has moderate and positive correlation with burnout. These two variables explain 34% of the total variance of burnout. According to the standardized regression coefficient, the order of relative importance of predicative variables on burnout is life satisfaction and social support. Therefore, it can be recommended that psychological services for workers should be promoted. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
