This study aimed to investigate the role of social support and life satisfaction in academic burnout. The research method was correlation. From Islamic Azad University of Tehran, 393 students selected by cluster sampling method and responded to Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS, Schaufeli et al., 2002), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS, Diner et al., 1985) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988). Data were analyzed using regression analysis. The results showed that social support (β = -0.131, P≥0.020) and life satisfaction (β = -0.229, P≥0,000) had a significant and inverse effect on academic burnout. The findings also showed that Social support and life satisfaction explained 14% of the variance in academic burnout. According to the findings, academic burnout decreases with increasing social support and life satisfaction. Therefore, supporting student by family, friends, and the educational environment, as well as strategies that increase life satisfaction, can reduce students' academic burnout, which is an important factor in dropout.

In terms of purpose, this study was applied with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) and with an exploratory design. In the qualitative part, the semi-structured interview method was used and in the quantitative part, the descriptive method was used. Statistical population in the qualitative section of expert professors in the field of research that 10 people were selected as a statistical sample using purposive sampling method and taking into account the law of saturation. The statistical population in the quantitative section was all full-time professors of Mazandaran Azad University, which were selected as a statistical sample based on the scientific rank of 308 people. For data collection, the researcher-made questionnaire of university independence with 73 questions and the organizational performance questionnaire of Pin Priyang and Sing Sai with 21 questions were used. Validity was calculated and confirmed after the approval of the professors and the reliability of the tools approach (reason oriented 0.85, cause oriented 0.82 and organizational efficiency 0.89). Theme analysis was used to analyze qualitative data and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, t-test, exploratory factor analysis and structural equations were used to analyze quantitative data.
