In the post-pandemic era, exhaustion may be a relevant feature affecting students. This cross-sectional study aimed primarily to test a predictive model of five domains of variables (background, academic, social, psychological, and economic) on dropout intention, in a relation mediated by academic exhaustion. Secondarily, it aimed to assess the structural invariance of this model across working status (working vs. non-working students) and residence status (living away from family\u2019s residence vs. living in family residence). If these groups are differently affected by dropout determinants, specific dropout prevention measures should be implemented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec036\">\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A stratified sample of 1402 Portuguese university students aged between 19 and 45 years (\n                      <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200922.87,\n                      <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093.64), selected through a convenience quota method, was assessed for background, academic, social, psychological, and economic variables using self-report instruments. Structural equation modelling was used.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec037\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The predictive model explained 51% of the variance in dropout intention. Academic exhaustion was the stronger predictor (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.523, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), followed by social connecteness to the campus (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u221231, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), vocational difficulties (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.274, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and course value (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22120.256, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Except for the course value, and family educational level, all significant predictors had their effect on dropout intention through academic exhaustion.

The invariance of the predictive model of dropout intention across different groups points the robustness of the model and the relevance of the integrated variables. The results emphasize the importance of student\u00b4s individual factors (e.g., academic exhaustion, lack of fit with the course) in dropout decisions, also stressing the role of academic institutions and of the education system in addressing this phenomenon, concerning academic workload, vocational orientation, social environment, and financing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0327643","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,8]],"date-time":"2025-07-08T13:27:01Z","timestamp":1751981221000},"page":"e0327643","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Predictors of higher education dropout intention in the post-pandemic era: The mediating role of academic exhaustion"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5142-256X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"B\u00e1rbara","family":"Gonzalez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Teresa P.","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2722-5253","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"S\u00f3nia V.","family":"Correia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Albuquerque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Paulino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0327643.ref001","article-title":"Education at a glance 2022:","author":"OECD","year":"2022","journal-title":"OECD indicators"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0327643.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"614","DOI":"10.1002\/rev3.3202","article-title":"Dropping out of university: a literature review","volume":"8","author":"A Behr","year":"2020","journal-title":"Review of Education"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0327643.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1556\/063.9.2019.1.18","article-title":"Student dropout from universities in Europe: A review of empirical literature","volume":"9","author":"BM Kehm","year":"2019","journal-title":"HERJ"},{"key":"pone.0327643.ref004","volume-title":"Dropout phenomena at universities: what is dropout?
