Abstract: Based on the interviewing with undergraduate students about the commitment and burnout in the university learning situation, the undergraduates’ professional commitment scale and learning burnout scale were developed. The scales were validated by EFA and CFA. 672 students completed the scales. The results showed that the professional commitment was consisted of four components which are affective commitment, continuance commitment, normative commitment and ideal commitment; the learning burnout was composed of three components that are dejection, improper behavior and reduced personal accomplishment. The regression analysis showed that affective commitment is the most significant predictor to undergraduate’s learning burnout.

Key words: undergraduates, professional commitment, learning burnout
