Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 7
Abstract
Burnout can be referred as a prolonged stress, by which it may harms anybody at any level across sectors. A life as a tertiary level students require them to be mentally, physically and emotionally prepared, as the challenges are more vigorous in the current years. It can be expected that students are also exposed to the risk of facing burnout as a result of trying to accommodate the expectations from their parents and educators. Thus, a study has been conducted to examine whether depersonalization (as a component in burnout) affects undergraduates’ academic performance from three (3) faculties in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, Malaysia. 346 respondents have been selected by using disproportionate stratified sampling method. In this study, the data analysis has demonstrated that depersonalization has a weak effect on the students’ academic performance. Here, it can be concluded that the undergrads’ feeling of detachment is a matter of individual’s internal control and definitely they are the one who will determine the focus of their studies.
