Paper Summary

The study looked at how being kind and helpful is related to feeling exhausted at work. They found that being kind is linked to helping others, like doing extra tasks or volunteering. Feeling burnt out only affects doing extra tasks at work. Also, being kind is connected to volunteering and helping family and neighbors, but feeling burnt out can change this connection.
