In the recent Covid-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in the rate of healthcare workers who experience burnout, thus decreasing their work productivity. However, few studies tackle how co-worker support among healthcare workers in the Philippines affects their productivity. This research aimed to identify the effect of co- workers’ support on the job productivity of the employees in a government-owned hospital specializing in cardiology. This study identified the relationship between co-workers’ support, co-workers’ relationship, and relationships with the board of directors or bosses and its effect on the job productivity of the nurses using a convenience sampling technique. The study used descriptive-correlational analysis to examine 100 respondents from the survey and utilized the Social Capital Theory to discuss further and analyze the effects of the variables. It was found that there is a direct low relationship between the productivity of nurses and co-workers and supervisor support. Therefore, the researchers recommend that the hospital shall ensure an open communication line between supervisors and the employees. There is also the need for future research to delve deeper into the nurses’ experiences, using a qualitative method to reveal additional data and knowledge on the above field.
