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.
