Abstract:
Students’ burnout has been widely investigated in recent decades, mainly showing a higher
risk for female students across academic levels. To our knowledge, few studies have investigated
whether employed students experience higher academic burnout risks. In this regard, previous
findings have shown mixed results. The current study investigated the differences in burnout
experience based on students’ gender and worker status. We expected to find differences among study
groups in their burnout levels. The participants were 494 Italian university students (49.6% female
students; 49.4% working students) who completed the short version of the Burnout Assessment Tool
Core dimensions (BAT-C). Firstly, we investigated the BAT-C measurement invariance across gender
and worker status subgroups. Secondly, a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed
significant gender differences in burnout levels. Specifically, female students showed higher levels of
exhaustion, cognitive impairment, and emotional impairment than male students. Nevertheless, no
interactive effects between gender and worker status were observed in the current sample. To sum
up, gender is a key factor for understanding several BAT symptoms, and it should be considered by
academic staff interested in preventing burnout at university and its dropout consequences.
