The relationship between burnout and telework was analysed to find out how COVID-19 affected the emotional state of social workers who teleworked during the pandemic, and to analyse the risk of burnout in the field of social services. The fieldwork was conducted on a self-selected sample of 395 social workers in Spain in 2021. The results show a lower risk related to negligent treatment and a high resilience of professionals. The findings highlight the role of social work and the need to organise social services to guarantee the quality of this service without overburdening its professionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
