Assessment of Scholar Behaviors, Well-Being, and Academic Performance Among Scholars

Abstract:

This study developed a causal model examining scholars' behaviors and well-being on academic performance at Liceo de Cagayan University. A total of 260 scholarship grantees (full and half scholars) participated in the study, sampled from various disciplines. Using a structured questionnaire, data were gathered on behaviors such as time management, social ties, and extracurricular involvement, as well as well-being indicators like stress management and relationships. Descriptive correlational and causal-comparative research designs, along with Pearson correlation and multiple regression, were employed. Results revealed that time management and social ties significantly influenced academic performance, with well-being factors like stress management and positive mental health also contributing strongly. Causal Model 3 is the best-fit model, emphasizing the interconnected roles of behavior and well-being on scholars' academic outcomes. This model offers actionable insights for scholarship programs, student services, and institutional policies aimed at fostering academic success.
