Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between occupational stress and altruistic behavior among social workers. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data from 107 social workers were analyzed to examine correlations between time pressures, client prioritization, stress levels, burnout risk, and job satisfaction. The results show that while altruistic behavior enhances job satisfaction, it also contributes to stress and emotional exhaustion, particularly in early-career social workers. The findings highlight the importance of organizational interventions to mitigate burnout and support the well-being of social workers in high-demand environments.
