Results from Structural Equations Modeling showed empirical support for the Downward Spiral Model of burnout, which is considered as a crisis of efficacy , and for the Upward Spiral Model of engagement, which as a boost of efficacy . Results also show empirical support to the mediating role that efficacy beliefs play in the relationship between past success and burnout/engagement on the one hand, and self-efficacy beliefs about academic success on the other hand. Moreover, using multigroup analysis it was shown that the research model was invariant of across both samples.}, year = {2005}, journal = {Ansiedad y Estrés}, volume = {11}, number = {2-3}, pages = {215-231}, month = {07/2005}, publisher = {Sociedad Española para el Estudio de la Ansiedad y el Estrés}, issn = {1134-7937}, isbn = {2174-0437}, }
