Abstract

Burnout is a psychological exhaustion condition that may be experienced by mentors of the Child Development Program due to continuous service demands. This study aimed to examine the contribution of religiosity to burnout among Child Development Program mentors in Central Kupang. This quantitative study employed an associative design and involved 140 mentors selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed that religiosity did not significantly affect burnout (p = 0.554). The coefficient of determination was 0.003, indicating that religiosity explained only 0.3% of the variation in burnout, while 99.7% was influenced by other factors. These findings indicate that religiosity is not directly associated with the level of burnout. Among mentors, religiosity appears to function more as a source of meaning and service motivation than as a factor that directly influences burnout.
