Work Factors and Trauma Exposure
The last question examined if exposure to trauma has a statistically significant
relationship to burnout. Since this question isolates the exposure to trauma variables,
two blocks were used: non-trauma variables in the first block to control for their influence
and trauma variables in the second block. Results indicate that exposure to trauma
(previous 30 days) was statistically significant (p < .05); however, the contributions
were small. Total change in R² is .03. Table 4 presents these results.

Block one includes job demands, job resources, number of supervisees, race, gender, and years in
the profession. Block two includes trauma help (undefined) and trauma help (past 30 days). Both blocks
were significant at the .05 level.

DISCUSSION
The results of this study have three broad discussion points for the HRL professional
functions of student affairs. First, the Job Demands-Resources Model of Burnout
fits the functional area both theoretically and practically. Second, certain professionals
within HRL may be more susceptible to burnout than others; and third, although exposure
to trauma is statistically significant it may not be meaningfully different from
job demands.
This study analyzed the relationship among job demands, job resources, and exposure
to trauma and burnout in HRL professionals and on-call/case managers. The
JD-R appears to align with the experiences of HRL professionals. Although not the focus
of this study, when professionals receive equally high job resources when met with
high job demands, they experience work engagement (Demerouti et al., 2019). However,
as this study indicates, when HRL professionals experience a mismatch of high job
demands and low job resources, they may be more susceptible to experiencing burnout.
This study confirms findings of other studies that HRL professionals may feel a
