Abstract

Working students must manage the demands of both academic and work roles, which may lead to work-study conflict and contribute to academic burnout. This study aimed to examine the relationship between work-study conflict and academic burnout among working students. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed, involving 128 working students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using work-study conflict and academic burnout scales and analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The findings showed a significant positive relationship between work-study conflict and academic burnout, with a correlation coefficient of 0.511 and p < .001. The coefficient of determination was 26.11%, indicating that work-study conflict was associated with 26.11% of the variance in academic burnout, while the remaining variance was associated with other factors. These findings highlight the importance of managing work and academic demands to reduce the risk of academic burnout among working students.
