Role of Teachers' Affective Support for Reducing Students' Emotional Exhaustion in Higher Education in Pakistan

    The study determined the connection between teachers' affective commitment along with emotional exhaustion among students with the mediation of students' self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation in Pakistan. 309 responses have been collected from the students of HEIs in Karachi whereas PLS-SEM was employed to analyze data. Teachers’ affective support positively impacts students' self-efficacy and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, whereas students' self-efficacy and extrinsic motivation harm students' emotional exhaustion. Regarding mediation analysis, the study revealed that Teachers' affective support harms students' emotional exhaustion with the mediating effects of students' self-efficacy as well as extrinsic motivation. Practitioners or educational psychologists must realize the likelihood that students' motivation and self-efficacy are possible approaches in which teacher affective support is associated with emotional exhaustion when administering such
    interventions.
