Abstract :
In the field of work, an individual’s effort
being at a higher level than average and diminished
rewards given in exchange complements the lack of
balance regarding effort and reward. Indeed, "the
reward is much sweeter when an earnest effort has been
made in its pursuit." The present study determined the
relationship between effort-reward imbalance and
burnout among the total population of eighty (80)
registered nurses who are currently working in
Community General Hospital in San Pablo City. The
researchers applied a descriptive-correlational research
design and utilized a 3-part adopted survey
questionnaire from Siegrist (2004), a modified Socio-
demographic variables and short-version of Effort-
reward Imbalance Questionnaire and Kristensen,
Borritz, Villadsen, & Christensen (2005), the
Copenhagen Burnout Inventory distributed through
google forms which sought for the socio-demographic
profile, level of effort-reward imbalance, and burnout in
terms of personal, work, and client related, as perceived
by the respondents. The statistical treatments used were
frequency distribution and percentage, mean, standard
deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze
the data. Majority of the respondents’ age ranges from
30 to 40 years old, received a monthly salary of Php
20,001-30,000, and with less than a year of service. The
findings revealed that the majority of the respondents
exerted more effort and received less reward. Along with
a moderate personal and work-related burnout. Effort-
reward imbalance has a high positive correlation in both
personal-related and client-related burnout and a
moderate positive correlation in work-related burnout.
Relative to this, the researchers recommended an
intervention program to address and evaluate the
mismatch between work effort-reward imbalance and an
effective burnout management.
