Study further investigated the moderating role of coworker support. The study assessed the previously stated connections using simple, multiple and moderating regression. For the analysis of the study a total of 250 specialists were chosen from different hospitals in Pakistan. Results demonstrated substantial influences of work overload, work family-conflict, family-work conflict and negative affectivity towards job embeddedness and emotional exhaustion. Support of coworker moderates relationships of negative affectivity, work overload, work-family conflict and family-work conflict on emotional exhaustion. Notably, employees who have intense workloads and not able to make a harmony between work (family) and family (work) parts are candidly depleted. Such employees thus are less installed in their occupations and showcase poor execution in the service delivery process.
