Abstract: (707 Views)
Objective: Students' academic performance as a cognitive-emotional process is influenced by a wide range of positive psychology variables. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of psychological capital and teachers' job satisfaction as positive psychological constructs on the academic performance of elementary school students.
Methods: This study adopted a descriptive-correlation research design. Two hundred participants were chosen through multi-stage cluster sampling from the pool of elementary school teachers in Euclid city. They were tasked with completing the psychological capital questionnaires developed by Lutans et al. (2007) and the Minnesota job satisfaction-short form (1967). The data was analyzed using step-by-step multiple regression analysis in SPSS version 25 software.
Results: Results revealed that all components of psychological capital - hope, resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy - exhibited significant correlations with students' academic performance. Additionally, three components of teachers' job satisfaction - satisfaction with advancement opportunities, organizational climate, and leadership style - were found to directly correlate with students' academic performance.
Conclusions: These findings have implications for preventive strategies and effective interventions to address academic challenges in educational programs, particularly for professionals such as educational psychologists and school counselors operating within the realm of education.
