Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of LMX on the burnout and career turnover intention of social worker. For the research, burnout was consisted of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and diminished personal accomplishment (PA) by Maslach and Jackson's MBI. This study was analyzed 342 social workers in private social welfare organizations by survey. The results of this study were summarized as follows: The level of LMX perceived by social workers was a higher than medium. LMX was negatively related to the burnout and career turnover intention. LMX had a negative influence on the burnout and career turnover intention. Especially, EE and DP had a positive effect on the career turnover intention. This study finally discussed theoretical implications for future study and practical implications for LMX strategies on the results.
