Previous work in services marketing reveals that much is to be gained by considering distinct types of employee burnout. The current work extends these findings into the health care environment by examining the antecedents and effects of patient, co-worker, and management burnout. It is suggested that the distinction among the various types of burnout are especially important in the increasingly competitive and stressful health care setting. Several hypotheses are derived from burnout, social support, and exchange theory, and an empirical study from a hospital setting is discussed. The results indicate that of the three burnout types, management burnout has the strongest influence on employee service delivery, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intentions to leave the health care organization. Implications for managers and suggestions for future research are discussed.
