Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic burnout among social work students in Spain. The study found that students in higher academic years and with lower average grades reported greater burnout symptoms, while two EI components—emotional clarity (understanding one's emotions) and emotional repair (managing emotions)—positively predicted students' perceived academic efficacy. These findings suggest that developing EI skills, particularly emotional clarity and repair, may enhance social work students' self-efficacy and help mitigate aspects of academic burnout. The authors recommend incorporating EI training programs into social work education to support students' emotional well-being and academic success.
