This study investigated the willingness of 86 hypothetical supervisors to refer subordinates with five types of problems (AIDS, HIV‐positive, alcohol abuse, cocaine abuse, and job impairments) to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The overall hypothesis was supported. The more severe the worker's problem, the more likely supervisors were to engage in an EAP referral.
