Abstract
This descriptive-correlational quantitative research design study aimed to determine the profile of tertiary student leaders in terms of sex, years of leadership experience, and general weighted average (GWA); describe their level of burnout risk using the Maslach’s Burnout Inventory (MBI); and determine the relationship between burnout and the three variables. Among the 101 purposively-selected student leaders who participated in the study, more than two-thirds are female, a majority has more than four years of experience, and none have GWAs below 2.00. They experience moderate to high-level burnout, mostly from feelings of depersonalization. Results further show that sex, leadership experience, or academic standing does not significantly affect the burnout risk of tertiary student leaders. Therefore, schools must mitigate burnout, empower personal achievement, and bridge less experienced student leaders to their more experienced peers.
