Abstract: The aim of this research was to highlight the associations between engagement, burnout and academic performance among university students. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire were administered to a sample of 202 undergraduate students. The results indicated, as expected, significant and negative correlations between burnout and engagement, consistent with the specialty literature, confirming the/other research in the specialty literature. Significant correlations were also obtained between learning motivation, engagement and burnout. K-Means Cluster Analysis was used in order to split the participants into two clusters: cluster 1 defined as distressed students and cluster 2, well-functioning students.
