Teleworking has become a popular tool used by companies due to the pandemic. However, due to the increase in telework has led to a unique form of burnout that comes from the stressors that strain from telework. Past studies have shown Psychological Capital’s success in moderating the relationship between stress and job burnout. Although, there is no substantial research that explored the situation of employees at this time of pandemic, who transitioned to telework or telework itself and between telework stress and job burnout. The results of this study show that there is no significant statistical link when it comes to the moderating effects of psychological capital on telework stressors and job burnout. The study found that the psychological capital dimension hope can buffer the effects of telework stressors on job burnout.
