A total number of five-hundred and seventeen (N=517) male automobile apprentice artisans were selected using a multistage sampling which included a purposive sampling procedure to select the local Government Area for the study, and simple balloting was adopted to select the six LGAs out of the thirty under the three senatorial districts in Osun state, Nigeria. The instruments adopted for this study are Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES), Burnout Questionaire (BQ) and depression scale for apprentice (Apprentice Depression Scale). The hypotheses were formulated using a correlation matrix and hierarchical multiple regression. The hypothesis were tested to find out the significant influence of burnout and self-esteem on depression among apprentice artisans in Osun state .The study established that burnout and self-esteem significantly predict depression among apprentice artisans in Ede, Osun State, Nigeria.
