This study examined academic engagement in 438 Argentine university students, analyzing the predictive role of academic self-efficacy, emotional exhaustion, and disciplinary area using hierarchical regression analysis. The final model explained 20% of the variance in engagement. Self-efficacy for goal attainment (β = .27, p < .001) and coping (β = .18, p < .001) showed significant positive associations, whereas emotional exhaustion was negatively related to engagement (β = −.16, p < .001). Regarding disciplinary area, students in Health Sciences reported higher engagement than the reference group (β = .23, p = .023), while no significant differences were observed for Social Sciences and Humanities (β = −.17, p = .106). These findings confirm academic self-efficacy as a key predictor of academic engagement, while emotional exhaustion acts as an inhibiting factor, with contextual variations across disciplines. The results highlight the importance of interventions aimed at strengthening self-efficacy and reducing emotional exhaustion to enhance student retention and well-being, particularly in high-demand fields.
