Efikasi Diri Berhubungan dengan Burnout Akademik pada Mahasiswa Akuntansi

Abstrak

Academic burnout impacts emotional exhaustion, decreased learning motivation, decreased concentration, and low student confidence in completing academic tasks. Self-efficacy plays a role as an internal factor that can influence students' ability to cope with these pressures. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic burnout in accounting students. This study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, the sampling technique using total sampling with a sample of 91 accounting students in Yogyakarta. The instruments used were the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES-10) and the School Burnout Inventory (SBI-9). Data analysis used the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results of the data analysis showed that the majority of respondents had a high level of self-efficacy, but most also experienced academic burnout in the high category. The Spearman Rank correlation test produced p <0.001 with a correlation coefficient of 0.425, which indicates a significant positive relationship with a moderate strength of the relationship between self-efficacy and academic burnout. The higher the self-efficacy of accounting students, the greater the risk of experiencing burnout. This happens because strong self-confidence often encourages students to force themselves to achieve academic targets without paying attention to the limits of emotional exhaustion, so that coping resources that should protect them actually turn into triggers for vulnerability to burnout. These findings indicate that the relationship between self-efficacy and burnout is contextual and not always linear-negative as widely reported in previous literature, thus providing theoretical contributions by expanding the understanding of the dynamics of personal resources in students with high academic demands, where self-efficacy can play an adaptive or maladaptive role depending on the individual's self-regulation abilities.
