The current study considered the role of broad life orientations of university students on their academic engagement and burnout within the context of COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to examine whether life purpose orientations predicted student academic engagement and burnout directly and indirectly through disposition towards gratitude. University students completed questionnaires assessing academic engagement, burnout (reduced sense of schoolwork accomplishment, schoolwork devaluation, mental exhaustion from schoolwork), life purpose orientations (others-growth, self-growth, career-focused), and disposition towards gratitude. Structural equation modeling showed that academic engagement and two dimensions of burnout (reduced sense of schoolwork accomplishment, schoolwork devaluation) were negatively predicted by career-focused purpose orientation and by disposition towards gratitude. Additionally, reduced sense of schoolwork accomplishment was predicted indirectly by others-growth purpose orientation through disposition towards gratitude. Overall, findings highlight that broad life orientations may play salient roles in student academic success.

目前的研究考虑了在 COVID-19 大流行的背景下，大学生广泛的生活取向对其学术参与和倦怠的作用。具体来说，本研究的目的是检查生活目的取向是否通过对感恩的倾向直接或间接地预测学生的学术参与和倦怠。大学生完成了评估学术参与度、倦怠（功课成就感降低、功课贬值、功课精神疲惫）、生活目标取向（他人成长、自我成长、职业专注）和感恩倾向的问卷调查。结构方程模型显示，学业投入和倦怠的两个维度（学业成就感降低，以职业为中心的目标导向和感恩的性格对学校作业贬值有负面预测。此外，通过感恩倾向的他人成长目的导向间接预测了学业成就感的降低。总体而言，研究结果强调，广泛的生活取向可能在学生学业成功中发挥重要作用。
