THE INFLUENCE OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND SOCIAL SUPPORT ON BURNOUT IN STUDENTS WORKING PART-TIME

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between social support and emotional intelligence, both simultaneously and partially, with student mental health. University students frequently face various academic, social, and personal pressures that can significantly impact their mental health. Social support from family, friends, or the campus environment is believed to function as a buffer against stress, while emotional intelligence (the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own and others' emotions) is crucial for effective adaptation and coping. The research design employs a quantitative correlational approach. The study sample involves N = [Insert sample size, e.g., 250] students from various study programs at [Insert University/Institution Name], selected using [Insert sampling technique, e.g., purposive sampling].

The instruments used are the Social Support scale, the Emotional Intelligence scale, and the Mental Health scale. Data analysis uses multiple regression to test the simultaneous relationship and partial correlation to test the partial relationships. The expected results indicate a positive and significant relationship between social support and emotional intelligence, both jointly and individually, with student mental health. These findings are expected to provide practical implications for educational institutions in developing intervention programs to enhance student social support and emotional intelligence to maintain optimal mental health.
