Abstract

This study examines the impact of students' motivation on burnout. A survey was conducted with 232 students, assessing their motivation and burnout. The analysis reveals a positive relationship between the motivational component (exhaustion and disengagement) and burnout, supporting the hypothesis. The findings suggest that interventions targeting motivational factors can potentially alleviate burnout. The study emphasises the importance of addressing burnout and considering motivational, expectancy, and affective factors in developing interventions.
