Data from 308 Arab employees from 7 Kuwait business organizations indicate that: (1) experienced burnout is negatively related to job satisfaction, and organizational commitment, (2) experienced burnout is positively related to intention to leave and, (3) supervisory support moderate the relationships between experienced burnout and work outcomes.
