Abstract

Earlier researchers have explored the individual impacts of locus of control and self-esteem on academic as well as nonacademic success. But limited attention was given to their interplay within a university context. By integrating these variables into a unified framework, a more comprehensive understanding of the learning processes of university students can be achieved, which can further help in developing strategies to improve the overall learning outcome and come out as successful individuals. The aim of this study is to find out the contribution of locus of control and self-esteem toward academic achievement at graduation and across various demographic factors—socioeconomic status, family type, age, and different streams of graduation). The sample consists of MBA students ( n = 200) coming from different graduation streams, both male and female, in the age group of 21–27 years. Data was collected through the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale and Rotter’s Locus of control. A descriptive analysis and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Sixty-two percent had an internal locus of control, and 38% had an external locus of control. Forty-one percent had low self-esteem, and 59% had high self-esteem. There was a significant correlation between self-esteem, locus of control, and academic achievement. Self-esteem and locus of control totally predicted 41% of the variation in academic achievement, with self-esteem and locus of control both being stronger factors to predict academic achievement. Area (rural, urban), family type (nuclear, joint), and academic scores have a strong correlation with locus of control and self-esteem. MBA students are the future leaders. For them to be successful leaders, interventions can be designed to increase self-esteem, which would help them have faith in their abilities and achieve their objectives by taking responsibility for the outcome of challenging situations.

自尊与控制源对研究生学业成就的预测作用
早期的研究人员已经探索了控制点和自尊对学业和非学业成功的个人影响。但很少有人关注它们在大学环境中的相互作用。通过将这些变量整合到一个统一的框架中,可以更全面地了解大学生的学习过程,从而进一步帮助制定策略,提高整体学习效果,成为成功的个体。摘要本研究旨在探讨控制源与自尊对毕业时学业成就的影响,以及不同人口统计学因素(社会经济地位、家庭类型、年龄、不同毕业类型)对学业成就的影响。样本包括来自不同毕业阶段的MBA学生(n = 200),有男有女,年龄在21-27岁之间。数据通过Rosenberg自尊量表和Rotter控制点收集。采用描述性分析和卡方检验对数据进行分析。62%的人有内部控制点,38%的人有外部控制点。41%的人有低自尊,59%的人有高自尊。自尊、控制点与学业成绩之间存在显著相关。自尊和控制点共预测了41%的学业成绩变异,自尊和控制点都是预测学业成绩的较强因素。地区(农村、城市)、家庭类型(核心家庭、联合家庭)和学业成绩与控制点和自尊有较强的相关性。MBA学生是未来的领导者。为了让他们成为成功的领导者,可以设计干预措施来增强自尊,这将有助于他们对自己的能力有信心,并通过对具有挑战性的情况的结果负责来实现他们的目标。
