The result of this study showed that there were more role conflicts, and more burnout, particularly in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization of client, when supervision was not practiced. Also, by the result of structure equation model, supervision affected the work environment directly, and supervision indirectly affected the burnout through work environment.
