The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between athletes' Sports motivation and Effort-reward imbalance, their grit and exhaustion, and to reveal the differences between groups based on the existence or non existence of professional league formation. The subject of the study was university athletes, and 513 data were used for the study. As a survey tool, a questionnaire including the sports motivation scale, the effort-reward scale, the grit scale, and the burnout scale was used. The results derived through analysis are as follows. First, sports motivation, effort-reward imbalance, grit, and exhaustion of athletes differed between groups according to gender, professional league existence, and training frequency and training time. Second, there was a meaningful correlation between sports motivation, effort-reward imbalance, grit, and exhaustion of athletes. Third, It was confirmed that an influential path was formed between athletes' sports motivation, effort-reward imbalance, grit, and exhaustion. As can be confirmed from the derived path between variables, the effort-reward imbalance perceived by athletes is also a meaningful psychological variable, and it is confirmed that research on this needs to continue.
