Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motivation and burnout among Portuguese dual career athletes, and moderating role of negative career thoughts in the relationship between both. A total of 187 student-athletes, playing various sports, participated in the study and completed questionnaires on motivation, burnout and negative thoughts about their careers. Moderation effects were tested using linear regression models. The results indicated that there was a negative association between motivation and burnout and a moderating effect of anxiety and decision insecurity on the relationship between motivation and burnout. Understanding these variables is essential for the development of career intervention programs suitable for dual career of student-athletes.
