The current study aims to analyze the emotional exhaustion of female health care workers working in elderly care facilities. Using structural equation modelling we tested the effects of organizational support, coworkers' support, supervisor support and work-family conflict in predicting emotional exhaustion with a sample of 171 female health support workers. Findings showed that organizational support was directly linked with coworkers' support and supervisor support, and indirectly linked, via work-family conflict with emotional exhaustion. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
