Academic stress is a problem that affects university students, and when prolonged over time, it may generate burnout responses due to the inability to deal with it adequately. This research aimed to analyze the relationship between burnout, self-regulation, motivational orientation, and academic self-efficacy in German university students. Participants were fifty students aged 19 to 27 who answered an online survey based on three standardized instruments: Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), Self-Regulated Learning Processes Inventory (IPAA), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The results show that self-regulation, motivational orientation, and self-efficacy for studying are negatively related to cynicism and positively related to professional efficacy. From these results, it is necessary to promote behavioral and motivational processes such as those studied here, which reduce academic stress for university students' optimal performance.
