School Engagement as a Predictor of Burnout in University Students

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between school engagement and burnout of university students. The research employs relational survey model and the participants are 472 students studying at a public university in Ankara in Turkey. The data collection tools were "The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey" and "University Student Engagement Inventory". The findings of the research show that the relationship between university students' school engagement and emotional exhaustion, cynicism and efficacy subscales of burnout levels was moderate whereas students' school engagement is found to be a significant predictor of all subscales burnout. The findings of the research showed that the level of the relationship between university students' school engagement and subscales of burnout (exhaustion, cynicism, academic efficacy) was moderate and students' school engagement is found to be a significant predictor of all subscales of burnout.

Variables that Influence the Intention to Persist in Vocational Education

“…School participation had a statistically significant effect on intention to persist in vocational education. This result is consistent with those of Akbaşli, Arastaman, Gün, and Turabik (2019). The authors conducted a study of the relationship between school engagement and burnout (exhaustion) with 472 Turkish university students.…”

Investigation of University Students’ Engagement and Its Relationship to Burnout, Personality Traits and Academic Achievement

“…The results indicated that the highest mean score obtained by the students for personality traits was agreeableness while the lowest was neuroticism, which was also supported by some other studies (Burke & Witt, 2004;Côté & Moskowitz, 1998;Jensen & Patel, 2011;Saling et al, 2019;Templer, 2012). On the other hand, levels of engagement and all dimensions of burnout were moderate among the participants, as also reported by Akbaşlı et al (2019).…”

“…It is expected that the individuals' study habits and engagement levels are also affected by their personality traits. Especially in Turkey, although a few researchers investigated the relationship between burnout and engagement (e.g., Akbaşlı et al, 2019;Bilge et al, 2014), to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies examining these concepts (i.e., burnout and engagement) with personality traits and students' academic achievement together.…”
