Parenthetically: Employers cause burnout when employees are stressed by too much work

(Leplante & Nolin, 2014).

For quotations of a source, the page or paragraph numbers also is included parenthetically:

Quote: Leplante and Nolin (20114) described burnout as “a negative affective response occurring as result of chronic work stress” (p. 2).

As you can see, the information APA requires for citations helps direct the reader to that particular source in the reference list.

With three, four, and five authors, you will cite all of the authors at first mention. Each subsequent mention you will abbreviate to just the first surname followed by et al. For example, the first time Rasmussen, Hopkins, and Fitzpatrick (2004) is used, the source is cited like this:

In research-based development planning, decision-making is based on careful, systematic examination of goals, data, and results (Rasmussen, Hopkins, & Fitzpatrick, 2004).

The second time Rasmussen, Hopkins, and Fitzpatrick (2004) is used, the source is cited like this:

Rasmussen et al. (2004) emphasized the vital role research plays in development planning,

saying that thoughtful examination of data and evidence should be present.

and every time. For example, each time Kernis et al.(1993) is used, the source is cited like this or like the following:

Communities of practice have been used to support the reflective practice of teacher education planning committees (Kernis et al., 2007).

Remember that there will not be a comma between the surname and et al., and the period goes only after the al. The English translation of et al. is simply and others.
