Student burnout has been widely discussed in scholarly and empirical communities. However, little attention has been given to the population of vocational education and training (VET) pathway university students. This cross-sectional study employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess the burnout symptoms of Chinese VET pathway university students and their associations with academic stress and school-life satisfaction via the most up-to-date burnout assessment tool (BAT). 357 VET route university students were included in the present study, and the data were analyzed via SPSS 26, PROCESS 4.0, SmartPLS 3, and AMOS 26. The findings revealed that academic stress was positively correlated with student burnout symptoms and significantly negatively correlated with school-life satisfaction. School-life satisfaction partially mediated the association between academic stress and burnout. Institutions and teachers are encouraged to alleviate burnout by relieving vocational education students' academic stress and increasing their satisfaction with life on campus.
学生倦怠在学术和实证领域已得到广泛讨论。然而，职业教育与培训（VET）途径的大学生群体却很少受到关注。这项横断面研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM），通过最新的倦怠评估工具（BAT）来评估中国VET途径大学生的倦怠症状及其与学业压力和学校生活满意度的关联。本研究纳入了357名VET途径的大学生，并通过SPSS 26、PROCESS 4.0、SmartPLS 3和AMOS 26对数据进行了分析。研究结果显示，学业压力与学生倦怠症状呈正相关，与学校生活满意度呈显著负相关。学校生活满意度部分中介了学业压力与倦怠之间的关联。鼓励院校和教师通过减轻职业教育学生的学业压力并提高他们对校园生活的满意度来缓解倦怠。
