Abstract
Employees' social support was examined using both the traditional glob al measures of emotional/instrumental support and more focused measure s based on the contents (positive, negative, and non-job) of verbally transmitted support. Contents were more closely related to global emot ional support than to global instrumental support, with non-job and po sitive communications especially strongly associated with emotional su pport, and they accounted for more variance in strains than did the gl obal measures.
