The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes of workplace friendships, namely, employee engagement, job embeddedness, and job burnout. The study also examined the mediating role of job embeddedness on the relationship between workplace friendships and employee engagement, as well as the moderating (buffering) effect of workplace friendship on the relationship between job demands and job burnout. Finally, this study explored whether friendship maintenance difficulty would strengthen the relationship between job demands and burnout and weaken the relationship between workplace friendship and employee engagement. The study used survey methodology and Structural Equation Modeling to test the hypothesized models. Results indicated that workplace friendship had a positive relationship with employee engagement and job embeddedness, in addition to a negative relationship with job burnout. Job embeddedness was found to partially mediate the relationship between workplace friendship and employee engagement. However, support was not found for workplace friendships moderating the relationship between job demands and job burnout, nor was there evidence that friendship maintenance difficulty strengthened the relationship between job demands and job burnout, or weakened the relationship between workplace friendship and employee engagement. The conclusions of this study may be particularly useful to organizations and managers who are undecided on what stance they should take on the endorsement of workplace friendships. The findings in the study suggest that workplace friendships can be viewed as a job resource that contribute to increased employee engagement and job embeddedness, and the reduction and/or prevention of job burnout.
