General Background: Academic burnout has become a significant concern among final year university students due to increasing academic demands, thesis completion, and psychological pressure during the transition toward graduation. Specific Background: Previous studies have identified social support and self-management as important factors associated with academic burnout, particularly among university students facing prolonged academic stress. Knowledge Gap: However, limited studies have simultaneously examined the contribution of social support and self-management to academic burnout among final year students in the Indonesian higher education context. Aims: This study aimed to examine the relationship between social support, self-management, and academic burnout among final year students at a university in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Results: This quantitative correlational study involved 322 respondents selected using quota sampling. Data were collected using the Academic Burnout Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Self-Management Scale, then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings showed that social support and self-management jointly contributed 16.3% to academic burnout. Social support demonstrated a significant negative relationship with academic burnout (r = -0.311, p < 0.001), while self-management also showed a significant negative relationship (r = -0.353, p < 0.001). Novelty: This study simultaneously positions social support as an external factor and self-management as an internal factor in predicting academic burnout among final year students. Implications: The findings highlight the importance of strengthening academic counseling, social support systems, and self-management training programs to reduce academic burnout among university students.
Highlights:
- Higher peer and family assistance was associated with lower emotional exhaustion among undergraduate respondents.
- Personal regulation skills showed stronger predictive value for reduced learning fatigue during thesis completion.
- Combined psychological and environmental factors explained 16.3% of student burnout variance.
