“…Motivation is a general phenomenon in various fields, and it is a critical component of learning in student communities. Self Determination Theory (SDT), for example, is one of the most well-known motivating theories (Ryan and Deci, 2000a); (Koyuncuoglu, 2021); (Caola, 2021). Student success would be improved if contextual influences encouraged enthusiasm for schooling, resulting in increased academic achievement.…”

The growth of students' motivation is critical during the transition from secondary to higher education. Inspiration for learners is one of the key learning elements in both structured and informal settings. Many students are involved in education; of course, other students require support and encouragement. The study aims to understand the various motives of students to pursue higher education at a Saudi Eastern province public university. A quantitative descriptive analysis method and an online survey were used to collect data as part of the research. SPSS software was used to verify the accuracy and reliability of the data. Means, standard deviation, and ANOVA tests were used to investigate the data. The final instrument comprises 27 six-point Likert scale items related to students' decisions to attend higher education, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of .94. Among the findings of the study: "learning has no limitations," "accomplish my future goals," "increase abilities and expertise," "meet possible ambitions," and "to offer a better life for my kids and me" were the most common responses. There were significant statistical gender-related variations in favor of female students' motivations. However, additional results indicated no statistically significant differences in family wealth, cluster, and parents' education level.

“…Additionally, this study associated the educational motivation and professional decidedness of university scholars based on gender, years of study, and academic accomplishment. The outcomes showed that educational motivation had a positive result on professional decidedness (Koyuncuoglu, 2020).Overall; these studies deliver a valuable understanding of the association between SMA and DF among managers and emphasized the status of SMA in increasing individual and administrative performance.…”

Background: Self-management skills (SMS) are vital for all managers to increase managerial performance and Well-Being (WB), yet few studies have been conducted in Nepal regarding this topic. Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between Self- Management Skills (SMS) and Demographic Factors (DF) among managers in Kathmandu- based organizations. Methods: The study utilized a convenience sampling approach and a cross-sectional method with respondents (n=429)- managers, employing online questionnaires due to COVID-19. The study was tested for reliability and validity. SMS questions with five-point scales were used, resulting in 50 Self-Management Skills Scores (SMSS). A score of > 25 indicated a high score, while <25 indicated below-average scores. Descriptive and regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Findings: The results revealed that 63.1% of the managers had Self-Management Skills Scores (SMSS) below the average level. Demographic factors such as age, gender, and SMS training were correlated with SMS. Research limitations/Practical Implications: There are limitations with self-reported data, single data collection, and unknown total population. According to the study, managers’ SMS competence is influenced by their SMS training, age, and gender. Organizations should invest in training and development to improve managerial skills, especially in the healthcare sector. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusiveness (DEI)-related initiatives and improved hiring practices should be given primary priority. Originality/Value: This research explores a deserved need to learn how SMS can help create a person’s nurturing personality.

“…As age and year of study are highly correlated, older students may be more mature and familiar with the course content and their professors, which may help them study efficiently under self-regulation. They may also be more sincere about their studies so these individual characteristics should be controlled (Koyuncuoglu, 2021). On the flip side, older students may lose academic motivation over time or be involved in part-time work which may adversely affect their learning efforts.…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to the the learning process, prompted by the shift away from traditional physical classrooms to virtual ones. With unequal access to remote learning technologies, there are concerns regarding undergraduate students' academic progress. A primary survey was conducted to create a composite learning score to quantify learning losses. A significantly higher learning loss is visible among students belonging to families facing income losses during the pandemic, and public university students. We find that compared to India, students of Bangladesh and Pakistan are affected more severely in terms of learning losses. The article also measures the extent of psychological distress and academic demotivation related to online learning. We find that the same groups of students face higher psychological distress and academic demotivation.
