This study aimed to analyze the relationships between burnout, mental health, quality of life at work and academic self-concept. The sample was composed of 139 college students from public and private institutions who combine work and study, aged between 18 and 51 years old. To collect data, the following instruments were used: Burnout Syndrome Assessment Scale in University Students, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Quality of Life at Work Assessment Scale and Multidimensional Self-Concept Scale. The data were analyzed using the JASP software. The results indicated that burnout correlated positively with mental health (i.e., anxiety, stress and depression) and negatively with quality of life at work and academic self-concept. Furthermore, quality of life at work played a significant mediating role in the relationship between burnout and mental health. These findings contribute to scientific literature and lead to reflections for organizational, educational, clinical and social contexts.
