Managers/Supervisors plays a big role in the issue of burnout and should have structures in place to assist employees.

The study was limited in terms of the scope of fields covered in Occupational Therapy and appeared to skim the surface of what occupational therapists may be confronted with in the field. Examples of job crafting could have been elaborated upon. It acknowledges it's limitations to the USA context. Other contextual factors will also play a role and could have been listed as considerations.
