Research of 1111 Job Bank in 2013 revealed that about 54% of the office workers, who might suffer from job burnout, have been bullied at the office (Feng, 2013). Accordingly, this study is to discuss whether positive emotions can improve performance or social support can reduce negative outcomes. Quantitative method was adopted and questionnaires distributed to get information regarding the correlations among workplace bullying, job burnout, positive emotions, and social support.
