    The presence of adequate levels of social support has been demonstrated to reduce the adverse consequences of occupational stress outcomes.

This investigation evaluated the influence of both practical and emotional types of workplace social support upon job satisfaction and work-related psychological well-being.

The importance of supervisor support for the maintenance of positive work attitudes is discussed.
