Abstract

Purpose: This research is to explain the function of academic motivation in burnout with academic resilience received by students who are also workers in a company but at the same time they also take course credit at a university.

Approach/Methodology/Design: After being approved by the code of ethics committee, make was collected cross-sectionally by way of an online survey which was distributed to Medan Area University students doing part-time jobs along with informed consent. data were collected from 163 students who work part time (Mage = 22.018) and (SDage = 4.272) with male (n = 65) and female (n = 98). Then for the order of birth consisting of the first child (n = 62), the middle child (n = 51) and the youngest child (n = 50).

Findings: Extrinsic motivation does not have a large effect on students who work part time to be able to have high resilience because the burnout they receive does not have a significant effect through indirect pathways. This means that students who have extrinsic motivation to live their academic year will experience greater physical and mental fatigue than students who are encouraged to live the academic year from intrinsic motivation.

Practical Implications: Universities should consider appropriate methods and strategies to develop and implement good and suitable learning experiences for part-time working students.

Originality/value: This study specifically encourages universities to create special management for students with part-time workers.
