Özet

This study investigated whether grit had a mediation role between academic self-efficacy and school burnout in university students. The study group of this research consisted of a total of 390 students from the educational faculties of two universities in Turkey, including 307 females (78.7%) and 83 males (21.3%). The study data were collected using a Personal Information Form (PIF), the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ASAS), the Short Grit Scale (GRIT-S), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS). Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, regression analysis for mediation, and the bootstrap analysis for the significance test of the mediation effect were used in the analysis of the study data. As a result of the study, it was found that grit had a positive correlation with academic self-efficacy and a negative correlation with school burnout. Regression-based bootstrapping results showed that grit had a mediation role in the relationship between academic self-efficacy and school burnout.
