This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of resilience in the relationships between self-efficacy and psychological burnout among certified youth workers. To achieve this goal, we used questionnaires to measure youth workers’ self-efficacy, resilience, and psychological burnout. A total of 96 youth workers participated in the study and the data was analyzed with descriptive analysis, correlation test, multiple regression, hierarchical multiple regression, and bootstrapping using jamovi 1.0.0. The results revealed that self-efficacy, resilience, and psychological burnout are positively and negatively correlated. Specifically, we found that self-efficacy and resilience predict psychological burnout. Finally, resilience has a significant partial mediating effect between youth workers’ self-efficacy and psychological burnout such that self-efficacy could prevent the development of psychological burnout by improving resilience. These results suggest that self-efficacy and resilience could be positive personality traits for alleviating or eliminating psychological burnout among youth workers. The implications and limitations of the study are also discussed.
