The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating effects of the supervisor’s supports and spoussal supports in the relation between married female counselors’ multiple role conflicts and burnouts. The data were collected from 207 married counselors in South Korea. In this study, scales of work-family conflict, Korean counselor burnout inventory, the supervisor’s support, spousal support were used. To distinguish the moderating effect, correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were performed. The results indicate that meaningful positive relation between multiple role conflict and burnout exists. Meaningful negative relation among multiple role conflict and the supervisor's support and spousal support was also observed. Second, supervisor's support and spousal support moderate the relation between multiple role conflict and burnout. Third, ‘evaluative support of supervisor’ had moderating effect. Fourth, ‘sharing nurturing and educating children’, ‘helps with household matters’, ‘supports with difficulties’ moderate the relation between multiple role conflict and burnout. The results suggest the necessity for differential social intervention strategies in counseling and the importance of active interaction of counselors and social support system. It also means that counselor have to maintain equilibrium between taking care of others and taking care of oneself. Implications and limitations of the current findings were discussed.
