“…Also, the level of academic burnout was higher among male students than female students. Many studies have been conducted in this area, including the studies of Zaregar et al (27) and Ghadampour et al (28) who evaluated students' academic burnout with similar instruments. The results of the mentioned studies were in line with the findings of the present study.…”

Background: Paying attention to students' academic burnout and identifying the factors affecting it is one of the concerns of higher education authorities. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of quality of educational services and happiness on students' academic burnout. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 477 students of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences participated in the academic year 2017 -2018. The sampling method was stratified. Data were collected using the SERVQUAL Questionnaire, Isfahan-Fordyce Happiness Inventory (IFHI) and Breso Burnout Questionnaire. Then, they were analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA and Multiple linear regression using SPSS. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: According to Pearson correlation coefficient, there was a significant relationship between students' happiness and academic burnout (P < 0.001), but there was no significant relationship between the quality of educational services and academic burnout (P = 0.060). The level of academic burnout was higher in male students than in female students (P = 0.003). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that only the students' happiness variable significantly predicted variations in academic burnout (P = 0.001). Conclusions: In order to reduce students' academic burnout, effective factors such as happiness should be considered by the respective authorities and educational packages should be used to promote happiness and increase the quality of educational services.

“…Likewise, Ghadampour et al (2016) found that academic burnout was negatively associated with academic engagement and academic performance in medical students. Similar results were observed in another study by Akbay and Akbay (2016) in a sample of Turkis university students where academic burnout was revealed to have a detrimental direct impact on academic achievement, and a causal association between academic burnout and academic performance.…”

The current study intended to investigate the association between academic burnout (i.e., emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy) and academic performance particularly to examine the mediating role of cynicism between emotional exhaustion and academic performance in university students. In this correlational study, a sample of 300 (men=119; women=181) university students (BS and MS programs) in the age range of 18-29 years (M=21.45; SD=2.14) was randomly selected from a public sector university in Faisalabad city, Pakistan. Breso Burnout Scale (Breso et al., 2007) was used to assess academic burnout whereas the percentages of obtained marks in the last semester/degree program served as the measure of the academic performance of the participants. The results indicated a significant negative correlation between academic burnout and academic performance, and academic burnout was found to be a predictor of academic performance. Moreover, cynicism appeared to be mediating between emotional exhaustion and academic performance. Additionally, significant differences in levels of academic burnout and academic performance were also there concerning the demographic characteristics (i.e. class, gender, family system, and residence). The findings have significant implications for the relevant stakeholders; mental health professionals, students' counselors, authorities of educational institutions, and concerned policymakers.

“…On the other hand, employers will try to choose graduates who generally have acceptable skills and abilities to fill their needs in the workforce. This mechanism can ultimately help to increase the external efficiency of the higher education system (Ghadampour et al. , 2016).…”

PurposeThe present study aims to investigate the reasons for the gap between academic education and the required skills of the labor market in Iran.Design/methodology/approachFor this purpose, the authors adopted a thematic analysis method. The participants in the study were connoisseurs from universities and research institutes in Iran, who were selected with purposeful sampling methods of snowball type. To collect the data, the authors used a semi-structured interview and performed a thematic analysis for data analysis.FindingsThe findings showed that the views and perceptions of the connoisseurs participating in the study about the reasons for the gap between academic education and the skills required in the labor market in Iran can be classified into four main themes including lack of attention to labor market needs in the academic curricula, lack of attention to practical and entrepreneurial skills in the academic curricula, the weak link between universities and industry and society, and shortage of academic resources and equipment in some academic disciplines.Originality/valueThe present study had three implications. First, the human capital theory, the social closure theory, the positional conflict theory and the labor market segmentation theory are more compatible with the labor market of Iranian graduates, compared to other theories of the labor market. Second, the lack of coordination between academic education and the required skills in the labor market has weakened the Iranian economy. Third, the absence of practical and entrepreneurial skills in academic graduates has led to increased unemployment in Iranian society.
