20대 취업준비생의 학업소진 잠재프로파일 및 예측변인 탐색

Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to explore whether the five profiles of job burnout identified in the research by Leiter & Maslach (2016) are also evident in academic burnout. Additionally, the study investigated the cognitive and emotional regulatory coping strategies exhibited by each profile identified in academic burnout, as well as the as-sociations with relevant variables associated with academic burnout.
 Methods To this end, this study conducted latent profile analysis and multinomial logistic regression on 307 job seekers in their 20s using the R 4.2.2 program with the Maslach Burnout Inventory-student survey (MBI-SS).
 Results The profiles derived from this study were found to be similar to the five optimal profiles identified in the research by Leiter & Maslach (2016). Each profile exhibited similarities to the profiles identified in Leiter & Maslach's (2016) study. Specifically, in the case of ‘Burnout,’ the profile appeared to adhere more faithfully to the concept of the profile than the research findings of Leiter & Maslach (2016). However, in the case of ‘Disengaged,’ contrary to what Leiter & Maslach (2016) claimed, it showed an increase in both cynicism and exhaustion. Regarding the validated predictors of each latent profile classification, it was found that the group with high aca-demic burnout exhibited higher levels of accommodative coping strategies and lower levels of problem-solving coping strategies in cognitive and emotional regulation strategies. Furthermore, in terms of the associations with academic-related variables, the high academic burnout group displayed lower academic self-efficacy and higher tendencies for academic procrastination, fear of failure, and lack of learning motivation compared to other groups.
 Conclusions The close association between academic burnout and academic procrastination and academic self-efficacy suggests the need for future research to focus on the causal relationship between these constructs. Furthermore, theoretical and intervention implications for future strategies were discussed.
