Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and depression on the performance of eSports players in Yogyakarta. The rapid growth of the eSports industry has created a highly competitive environment that exposes professional and semi-professional players to significant psychological pressures. Using a quantitative research approach with multiple linear regression analysis, data were collected from 100 eSports players in Yogyakarta through a questionnaire. The results show that emotional exhaustion did not significantly affect player performance (t = 1.685, p = 0.095), while anxiety (t = 4.351, p = 0.000) and depression (t = 6.859, p = 0.000) each had a significant positive effect on performance. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly influenced performance with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.826, indicating that 82.6% of performance variation was explained by these three psychological variables. Depression emerged as the most dominant predictor (Beta = 0.481). These findings suggest that psychological factors play a critical role in shaping eSports player performance and that team management should integrate mental health monitoring programs to maintain player well-being and optimize competitive performance.
