Abstract

The present study aims to examine the predictive capacity that passion for studies and multidimensional academic procrastination have on burnout. The sample included 1648 first-year students at the National University of Dis­tance Education (UNED). Hierarchical regression anal­yses were conducted in two blocks. The results reveal that both psychological processes influence burnout, but in distinct ways. Passion, particularly the harmonious type, acts as a protective factor, while the obsessive type has a slightly detrimental effect on all dimensions of burnout. The introduction of academic procrastination dimensions significantly enhances the predictive capacity of the model: core procrastination and work disengagement are positive predictors of burnout, while poor time manage­ment has a reverse effect concerning cynicism, function­ing as a shield against detachment and devaluation of study. This study suggests new lines of research to address unresolved debates on academic procrastination and un­derstand its impact on well-being, performance, and stu­dent dropout rates
