“…Although Crosnoe [63] pointed out that regardless whether the field of study focuses on the humanities, the sciences or technology, the same negative factors are reported to influence a university student's overall LS, university students of social sciences and humanities (SSH) have reported decreased levels of satisfaction with almost all LS components compared to university students of technology and engineering sciences (TES). Furthermore, results have confirmed moderate levels of satisfaction achieved by the university attendants with business-oriented majors [64] and it is indicated that they reported higher levels of satisfaction with almost every examined LS segment compared to university students of non-business-oriented courses.…”

Life satisfaction influences sustainable personal growth among students by ensuring that they more firmly apply themselves in their education. Universities represent an environment where students may improve their life satisfaction through better academic performance and being engaged in extracurricular sport. This study evaluates life satisfaction (LS) among university students, 18 to 28 years of age to confirm whether academic performance, involvement in sports and physical activity are factors relating to higher levels of LS among university students. The study uses the Brief Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale. Over a three-year timeframe, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 875 students across areas of study in institutions of higher education in Serbia. The data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests. LS among students is found to be significantly improved under the following conditions: removing the burden to pay for one’s tuition, having a better Grade Point Average (GPA) as well as being involved in sport. Moreover, the optimum level of physical activity to positively affect LS is found to be four to five hours a week.

“…Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive anti-violence program or interventions that include violent children, victims, school staff, school social workers, and the community. This study result is relevant to the current study because it involved secondary grade students and found that physical violence, which is against the school motivation, among the secondary grades is high and takes place mostly in school or on the way to school and mostly by peers, which negatively impacts their school attendance (Allam & Malik, 2020). However, the study was conducted in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the authors suggested to conduct the similar studies in other gulf countries.…”

The study aims to identify the reasons behind students' absenteeism behaviour in the selected schools of Al-Ain state of UAE. For the said purpose, the problem was identified based on the government reports, and a detailed literature review was conducted which helped in the identification of causes behind students’ absenteeism behaviour, in general and specifically in UAE region. Taking the underpinning support of social learning theory, the framework was developed. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire, from 202 respondents. After ensuring the validity and reliability of the instrument and the data, structural equation modelling was applied. The findings confirmed that school environment, school motivational factors, and school interventional factors have a significant relationship with student absenteeism. The study recommended that School mechanisms need to be enhanced and the student motivational factors should be introduced in the schools to improve the attendance level or to decrease the absenteeism behaviour among the students. The study ended up with conclusions and limitation, for the future researchers and policy makers.

“…The underlying concept behind this framework is the teaching style which enhances the student satisfaction (Fadhel, Aljalahma, Almuhanadi, Asad, & Sheikh, 2022). Teacher's qualification is a factor along with teaching experience which has been widely studied as it highly affects the teaching style (Allam & Malik, 2020;Allam Z. , Asad, Ali, & Malik, 2022). As per the system design of education till high school level it is based on bookish knowledge but at higher level understanding of concepts is more important (Asad, 2020;Asad & Abid, 2018).…”

In today’s modern era research is the key to do anything new or to make improvements in the existing system or business. It is important for a researcher to write down articles about the various subject matters that would help people in understanding new things and adding value to the existing knowledge about the subject matter. Most of the teachers use different types of teaching styles with the intent of making learning more effective and increasing the satisfaction level of students. On the basis of the feedback provided by students, they assess the teaching style that is most effective and that satisfies the needs of the students. Recent studies have showed that student satisfaction is measured by looking at factors like the behavior of teachers, the environment of study and many other factors. So we have assessed the effect of teaching style on student satisfaction through the mediating role of teacher’s behavior and qualification. This article focuses on the methods used by teachers, their behavior and delivery style. On the basis of the results and analysis it can concluded that both teachers’ qualification and their behavior has its direct impact on student satisfaction. The conclusion that was drawn from the results was that the mediating role of teacher qualification and behavior mediates the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
