Keywords:
Satisfaction of Needs, Academic Performance, and GWA.Abstract
Multiple researches have attempted to determine whether there is any relationship between students’ academic performance and their self-esteem. The study was anchored on the theory of Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and aimed to analyze whether or not the student’s satisfaction of needs had any effect on their academic achievement. A hypothesis was formulated that students with higher satisfaction of needs will have higher academic performance. A total of 201 participants were selected randomly from four colleges at the Central Philippine State University-Hinigaran campus. Out of the 201 participants, 89 were second year, 68 were third year, and 44 were fourth year level, having enrolled in the semester. In identifying the sample size, the researcher made use of Slovin’s formula. Chi-Square was used in determining the significant relationship between a respondent’s academic performance and the level of satisfaction with their needs. The self-made questionnaire was validated with 4.06 results. Results showed that there was in fact a significant relationship between a respondent’s academic performance and the level of satisfaction with their needs. It was concluded from the results that students with higher satisfaction of needs had higher academic performance.
