Abstract
This study aims to determine the status of workload, the extent of time pressure, the level of burnout among bank employees in Cotabato Province, and their relationships, utilizing the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory. This theory suggests that the demands of a job, such as a high workload and time pressure, can lead to burnout and disengagement. Quantitative descriptive research was utilized to describe workload status, the extent of time pressure, and the level of burnout among bank employees, involving survey questionnaires distributed to 50 conveniently selected bank employees. Area sampling and convenience sampling are used to identify the respondents. The study revealed a moderate level of burnout time pressure, and a high workload among bank employees in the province. Also, it was established that there is a significant relationship between workload and burnout (p<.05) and time pressure and burnout (p<.05). Moreover, it was found that only time pressure can significantly influence burnout on its single capacity. The study's findings align with The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory. These findings highlight the importance of managing job demands effectively to prevent burnout and promote employee health and productivity. Organizations should consider implementing strategies to reduce excessive workload and time pressure while also providing resources and support to help employees cope with job demands effectively.
