Abstract
Employees' social support was examined using both the traditional global measures of emotional/instrumental support and more focused measures based on the contents (positive, negative, and non‐job) of verbally transmitted support. Contents were more closely related to global emotional support than to global instrumental support, with non‐job and positive communications especially strongly associated with emotional support, and they accounted for more variance in strains than did the global measures.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
