emotive behavior
In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of online rational emotive behavior therapy intervention on job burnout of Nigerian university history lecturers. This study concluded that the online REBT intervention reduces job burnout among history lecturers. The current study paves way for future studies to validate the efficacy of online rational emotive behavior therapy intervention among other employees who struggle with burnout. It presents a viable model for the treatment of occupational burnout that will be of research interest to occupational therapists, especially with the increasing surge into online therapeutic modalities. Practically, this study has revealed that online intervention reduces lecturers’ burnout; and theoretically, it revealed that the theory of REBT can be applied in this context. School mental health practitioners in universities can leverage online intervention for burnout treatment.
