Asbtract
The academic success of Generation Z students is influenced by various psychological factors, including motivation, academic stress, and academic satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the relationship between these three factors and their impact on students' academic performance. The research employs a quantitative approach using SEM-PLS and involves a sample of 135 students in Tasikmalaya.
The findings indicate that academic motivation has a positive effect on academic satisfaction, both directly and indirectly through academic stress as an intervening variable. However, academic motivation does not have a direct impact on academic performance but influences it indirectly through academic stress and satisfaction. Meanwhile, academic stress has a negative impact on both academic satisfaction and performance, suggesting that higher levels of stress lead to lower satisfaction and academic achievement among students.
Based on these results, strategies focused on enhancing academic motivation and managing stress are necessary to improve students' academic satisfaction and performance. Educational institutions and faculty members are encouraged to develop more adaptive policies to support the academic well-being of Generation Z students
Abstrak
Kesuksesan akademik mahasiswa Generasi Z dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor psikologis, termasuk motivasi, stres akademik, dan kepuasan akademik. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika hubungan antara ketiga faktor tersebut serta dampaknya terhadap performa akademik mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan SEM-PLS dan melibatkan 135 mahasiswa di Tasikmalaya sebagai sampel.
Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi akademik berpengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan akademik, baik secara langsung maupun melalui stres akademik sebagai variabel perantara. Namun, motivasi akademik tidak memberikan dampak langsung terhadap performa akademik, melainkan melalui stres akademik dan kepuasan akademik. Sementara itu, stres akademik memiliki dampak negatif terhadap kepuasan dan performa akademik, yang menandakan bahwa semakin tinggi stres yang dialami mahasiswa, semakin rendah tingkat kepuasan dan pencapaian akademik mereka.
Berdasarkan hasil ini, diperlukan strategi yang berfokus pada peningkatan motivasi akademik serta pengelolaan stres guna meningkatkan kepuasan dan performa akademik mahasiswa. Institusi pendidikan dan dosen diharapkan dapat mengembangkan kebijakan yang lebih adaptif untuk mendukung kesejahteraan akademik mahasiswa Generasi Z.
