사회복지사들의 소진결정과정에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하고자, 직업과 관련된 8가지 스트레스요인(업무모호성, 업무과중, 문제해결의 어려움, 클라이언트와의 갈등, 수퍼바이저의 지지결여, 기관내 의사소통의 폐쇄성, 관료주의, 무책임성), 4종류의 매개요인(직무스트레스, 전문직역할수행, 기관정책 준수, 클라이언트에 대한 편파성)과 소진의 4구성요인(신체적 탈진, 심리적 탈진, 비인간화, 개인전 성취)으로 이루어진 포괄적인 연구모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모델은 사회복지사 207명으로부터 수집된 설문조사 자료를 통하여 검증되었다. 경로분석을 사용하여 변인들 간의 구조관계를 설명할 수 있는 최적 이론구조모델이 선정되었다(df=66, $x^2$=63.250, GFI=0.962, CFI=1.00). 자료분석 결과, 소진은 업무모호성과 업무과중, 문제해결의 어려움, 클라이언트와의 갈등, 수퍼바이저의 지지결여, 기관내 의사소통의 폐쇄성 등의 직업관련 스트레스요인에 의해 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 소진을 결정하는 감정적 경로의 매개변인인 직무스트레스는 전문직 역할수행과 기관정책 준수의 정도를 증가시키며, 소진(신체적 탈진, 심리적 탈진, 비인간화)을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 소진과정의 인지적 경로를 구성하고 있는 전문적 효능성은 전문직역할수행의 정도가 높고 기관 정책준수의 정도 및 클라이언트에 대한 편파성이 낮을 경우 증대되며, 소진을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다.
