Abstract:
The education plays an immense role in finetuning the human beings in all over the world. But there is an adverse trend is blooming when considering the future trends relating to the academic performances of undergraduates. Female undergraduates are outperforming their male counterparts leads to increment of performance gap between the two gender. The researcher was induced by the problem which relating to lower performance of the male undergraduates in the universities.
In order to standing with above problem, this study was conducted for identifying the factors that influence on male management undergraduates in SUSL. There were seven independent variables were employed as time management, attendance on lectures, peer influence, English knowledge, learning strategies, academic motivation and self- determination. The sample of the study was 297 students who are representing the 75% from the population. Since the population is known stratified simple random sampling technique was used under the probability sampling method. Hypothesis was tested to identifying the factors that influencing on academic performance of male management undergraduates. The results revealed that lecture attendance, peer influence, English knowledge, learning strategies and academic motivation has a positive impact on the academic performance of male management undergraduates in SUSL while time management is not a significance factor and self-determination describe the negative impact.
As for the main beneficiaries, directly finding of the study would assist for male management undergraduates in SUSL, in order to obtain high level of academic performances. Not only that relevant authorities able to get the understanding of the factors that influence on the students and convenience to get the decisions relating to the academic performance. Not only that this study would slightly contribute for the world issue to balance the performance differences among the two gender. For the wide generalizability, future researchers have great opportunity to find out the more factors that are relevant to the academic performance of male undergraduates in different contexts.
