Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of job burnout on employee performance of the white-collar employees. The descriptive-correlational research design was used by the researchers to methodically arrange the data as the study progressed and provides sufficient and significant data that will support the findings of this study. The researchers gathered data from one hundred eighty-two (182) white-collar employees with professions such as nurses, doctors, engineers, lawyers, accountants, teachers, architects etc. in various firms residing in Luzon aging from 20-55 years old. The researchers utilized the Oldenburg Burnout to assess the level of the respondent’s job burnout and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) to determine the employee performance of the respondents. The hypothesis was assessed at a 0.05 level of significance to determine the impact of job burnout on employee performance. The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a significant impact of job burnout on the employee’s performance, and therefore rejects the null hypothesis.
