Abstract
The basic aim of this study is to locate those factors which affect a student life satisfaction eitherit was external or internal. We want to establish a relationship between the life satisfaction of the
students and their academic performance. This study is about those students which are studying
in different universities. In this study we want to make analysis and comparison between privateand public university students which belongs to different SES and also from different areas(rural and urban). For this study we collected the data from the questionnaire from Governmentand public universities. We filled out questionnaire from the students of undergraduates and
graduates. Total 150 questionnaires we filled for our research study. Factor analysis was performed to check the success of factors. Then use the correlation to check the relationshipbetween variables and Regression is also applied to check the impact of Independent variableson dependent variable. Correlation s result is positive related and significant. In regressiononly one hypothesis can be rejected. Single sample and double sample independent t-test canalso be applied. The limitation of our study is that our response rate is very low. We shouldcalculate data from more than three private n public universities. This is research paper.
Keywords Brand: Life satisfaction; Academic performance; Family satisfaction; Students lifesatisfaction; Life style.

Introduction:
The current study explored the extent to which demographic, academic, and psychologicalvariables directly and interactively predicted life satisfaction within a large sample of adolescentsimmediately prior to their enrollment in college. Across indicators of gender, disability,
academic achievement, and religiousness, students displayed very similar levels of satisfaction.Multigroups application of path analysis was used to examine the interaction of demographic,academic, and psychological variables in predicting satisfaction. Although the psychologicalvariables predicted life satisfaction equally well across gender and disability status, meaning inlife was a stronger predictor of life satisfaction among Asian Americans than among any otherracial/ethnic group. With some exceptions, the predictors of life satisfaction for incoming collegestudents appear very similar to those for current student and adult populations.
Life satisfaction is defined as a positive cognitive evaluation of ones life, and an importantindicator of subjective well-being (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985). The literature
exploring the demographic, academic, and psychological predictors of life satisfaction is robust.In their meta-analysis on predictors of life satisfaction, Diener, Suh, Lucas, and Smith (1999)noted that demographic variables which are the data that colleges and universities most oftencollect regarding their matriculating students generally fail to account directly for substantialvariance in subjective well-being. Rather, demographic variables more often interact with
psychological factors to predict life satisfaction. Building upon past research on demographicand psychological predictors of life satisfaction with college student and adult populations, thisstudy may further our understanding of how demographic and psychological factors interact withregard to life satisfaction for students prior to any changes they may experience during theirtransition into college. In the following sections, we examine previous, and sometimesconflicting, evidence regarding the specific predictors of life satisfaction used in the currentstudy. When possible, information is provided on those predictors as they relate to a young adult
population .

Significance of the Study
Life satisfaction is defined as the global evaluation of life of a person (Pavot & Sandvik,
1991). Although many studies about students life satisfaction have been conducted (Diener,
1994), students life satisfaction has recently became focus of the empir ical work. The recent
work have been demonstrated huge importance of life satisfaction that is put up in the
understanding of the psychological well being of the students, children and adolescents. The
increase in life satisfaction of students has been measured the important operation of education
(Neill, 1981). In addition the satisfaction of life has both positive as well as negative effect,
which is necessary constituent of individual well-being (Neil etal., 1985).
A survey has conducted and this study exposed that the university students of Regina Canada
were normally fairly fulfilled with the lives especially with respect to the ancestral relationships,
livelihood environment, and relationships with very close friends, and the living arrangements. A
survey in the University of Regina revealed that respondents who indicated a higher socio-
economic Status, achieved higher GPA, and become more satisfied with their Academic
performance, self-esteem, social relationships, and living Conditions, expressed a very higher
level of satisfaction with their life (Stratton, 1990; Pounder, 2007; Henry P.H. Chow, 2005).
Academic performance of students, their educational experience, and their life satisfaction are
positively related to each other (Bailey and Miller, 1998; Cheung, 2000; Gilman et al., 2000;
Hong and Giannakopoulos, 1995). Satisfaction of a student with family life and friends are
positively associated with their overall life satisfaction (Dew and Huebner, 1994; Greenspoon
and Saklofske, 2001; Maton, 1990; Seibel & Johnson, 2001). Better living conditions like its
place of residence and the people which are the respondents live are significantly and positively
related with the life satisfaction among the university students.

Problem Statement
Generally it is studied and understands that student performance is based on their life
satisfaction. A students life satisfaction based on four main things which are leisure satisfaction,
family satisfaction, university satisfaction and social satisfaction which hits the student
performance directly. Students with high satisfaction showing a greater resiliency and be less
delicate in the face of academic challenges. Additionally it was prompt by our experience with
the converse, that is a student having low level of their life satisfaction and seemed to detail their
focus and deteriorate their performance in the class room (Joseph C, Arthaud, 2005).
In essence, Students which are studying in the public and private universities, belong to different
SES and belongs to different areas shows different level of satisfaction. Satisfaction of the
students with both academic and nonacademic life domains are positively related to their overall
life satisfaction (Joseph C. Arthaud-Day, 2005). The study purpose is to establish the relationship
between students life satisfaction and its academic performance who are studying in different
universities and the comparison between private and public university students belongs to
different SES and geographic.
Aim of the Study
The basic aim of this study is to locate those factors which affect a student life satisfaction either
it was external or internal. We want to establish a relationship between the life satisfaction of the
students and their academic performance. This study is about those students which are studying
in different universities. In this study we want to make analysis and comparison between private
and public university students which belongs to different SES and also from different areas (rural
and urban).

outside the class and the achievement of student depend upon the satisfaction of the student
(Astin, 1993), or relation between objective university characteristics and student's academic
performance (Astin, 1993; Hu & Kuh 2003). The relationship between university characteristics
and student performance really matters but there are many other variables which influence the
student life satisfaction and their performance. That educational experience, academic
performance and life satisfaction are positively related (Bailey, 1998; Hong and Giannakopoulos,
1995). Satisfaction with friends and family are positively related with the life satisfaction (Dew,
1994; Saklofske, 2001; Seibel & 2001). A lot of variables have been focused and discussed
which have influence on students life satisfaction with respect to their achievements. Studentswho are highly satisfied with their life show better resiliency and they are fragile to face
academic problems and challenges. The research also tells us that the students with low level of
satisfaction are derailed and deteriorate from their goals and objectives (Joseph, Jennit P. 2005).
The students with high level of satisfaction are motivated towards their goals and objectives
because their needs and wants are being fulfilled and they are confident to achieve their goals
and converse of it, the students with low level of satisfaction are de-motivated because they feel
a sense of low confidence level and are confused about the future. The performance of student
can be estimated by the grades which it gets from its teachers in return of some tasks and
assignments Well being and performance is an in basket exercises (Staw, 1993). The student
performance is also the base of student attitude which shows educations role in addressing
social issues. A good social interaction with people is an important thing as it increases or
decreases the risk of loss when you are serving an organization. In such cases when good social
interaction skills are not developed in a student he/she would never prove her/him in the field of
industry. Students, who belong to a higher socio economic status (SES), get higher GPA and the

other who were the more satisfied with self-esteem, academic experience and relationship as well
as living conditions were extra satisfied with their live. Those students are show better
performance (Stratton, 1990, 2005). These are the major factors which increase or decrease a
student satisfaction with their life. Cross-national study have suggested that the student of the
western university, economically well off societies account higher rank regarding life satisfaction
(Dorahy, 1995, 2000). It will more appropriate and understandable when a survey study will be
conducted between those students which enjoy different social status, studying in different
universities and belongs to different areas.
Basically two frameworks are applied in the study. Firstly the relationship between dependent
and independent variables will be discussed of first framework and later the relationship between
IV and DV of second framework will be discussed. Our model is based on the integrated life
perspective and it proposes that the performance of the student is affected by different life
domains. The satisfaction level within all these domains is having a greater impact. The relation
between performance and satisfaction shows the overall life satisfaction. These domains differ
on the basis of population and demographics (Andrews & withy 2006).
Family Satisfaction
The relation between family satisfaction and life satisfaction of the student discusses as a student
life satisfaction level greatly influence by their relationship with family. Family relationship is
based under respondents level of satisfaction of student re lationships with mother, father and
siblings. Studies concluded that satisfaction of students with friends & family are positively
related with the life satisfaction (Dew, 1994; Saklofske, 2001, Johnson, 2001). A student who
has high family satisfaction, become more satisfied with their life and act more positively

towards their academic performance and achievement. Many recent studies have been explored
that the ways in which students' satisfaction with life and motivation for learning can be
enhanced, the major role can be played by parents (Deci, 1981). All these a student life satisfaction
leads by family satisfaction in which parents attention in appropriate and positively manner for their
children is moderately effect.
H1: Family satisfaction of a student enhances their life satisfaction which increases students
academic performance and achievements.
Life style
Life style of a student matters a lots towards the student life satisfaction. Life style is measured on the
basis of living conditions of a student. Living satisfaction is assumed to be as a function of the variety and
quality of facilities available to a student at their residence (Norman D. Aitken, 1982). In our term paper
we actually want to make a comparison between those student who lived in different areas and how they
think and relate their life satisfaction with their life style. Better living condition in terms of bodily
condition and people to whom respondents live are positively and significantly related with the life
satisfaction between the university students (Chow, 2004).
H2: life style of the students positively related to their life satisfaction and academic
performance.
Socio Economic Status (SES)
There is reason to believe that socio economics status (SES) play an essential role for life
satisfaction in the students. Socio-economic status (SES) is usually described on the degree of
satisfaction with family background and financial status of the students. There is verification in
literature that socio economic status considerably affects the life satisfaction (Zumbo, Michalos,
-
8/10/2019 Our Brm Final
10/23
2000; Henry.P.H and Chow, 2004). In beam of the elevated costs linked with the university
education and family background, it does not surprising that students from higher socio
economic background are more satisfied with their life.
H3: Students belong to a higher socio economic status (SES) background shows extra
satisfaction with their life and academic performance .
University retention
Direct thing which normally related with the performance of the students is their university and
the university retention. No doubt a student which more satisfied with their university life
showing good academic performance and more satisfy with their life. In our research we want to
make comparison between public and private university students, how they think and relate their
life satisfaction and achievements with their university life, university environment and how
much their university retention is related to their life satisfaction as a student. Teaching strategies
are significantly moderate to University retention and the student s life satisfaction. A student
will show a better performance when teachers maximized pressure and his controlling strategies
force a student to do hard work (Charley Flink 1990). A teacher plays an important role in the
student life and academic performance . Teachers teaching strategies are very helpful to create a
good communication environment in which student can learn effectively and efficiently. Self
esteem of students plays important role in the life satisfaction of the students. This factor hits
psychologically to the students. All the other factors which effect a student satisfaction are in
sense of external factors, but only self esteem is that which effects to a student internally.

Self esteem
Self-esteem is measured on the basis of respondents level of satisfaction of student with their
bodily appearance as well as self-image. A student which is more satisfied with their personality,
physical appearance and self image becomes more satisfy with their life.
H4 : In current situation students studied in private universities are more satisfied with their
academic performance and showing more life satisfaction.
The second framework have life satisfaction as IV and student performance as DV.
Life Satisfaction
The component of happiness should be related to satisfaction. It is obvious that if a person is
happy, he will be motivated towards his goal, same in our model the student performance will be
high when he will satisfy with his life. As Cropanzano and Wright (2001) note, happiness is
considered to be highly valuable by most people and scarce by many people, suggesting their
need to conserve or maintain happiness whenever possible. They term this model of happiness
the "resource maintenance model," and explain its differential effects for happy and unhappy
people. When an unhappy person goes to the job, he or she must be conscious about its reserve
happiness.
H5: Self esteem of the students has direct impact on their life satisfaction.
Academic performance
Everybody will be conscious when something he or she has in a limited supply (Joseph C.Rode
2007) we propose that the above arguments should also apply to the relationship between student
-

life satisfaction and academic performance. The moods of the person predicts that the positive
mood have an important impact on a persons behavior. (Organ 1990) This argument should be
applied to the relationship between life satisfaction and student performance. Various studies
have been found the relationship between student well being and its performance (Croponzano
1999, 2000). This relationship has a very strong link between life satisfaction and student
performance.
H6: Overall life satisfaction of students is positively related with their performance.
The study certainly addresses all the aspects but interest of student was not addressed properly. It
has a great importance because until student has any interest in the related field or course he/she
can never perform well. The independent variables which are addressed in this study are showing
strong relationship with dependent variable.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Population frame
The population frame/sample frame of this study is all those university students which are
studying in private and government universities also having different life style and belongs to
different socio-economic status (SES). All questionnaires related to our study are filled by the
university students about their overall life satisfaction as a student and academic performance. A
student more appropriately explains the factors about their life satisfaction and those factors
which effect their academic performance and achievements. So our population frame is
university students of private and government. The educational performance and achievements
of the students is very closely related to their life satisfaction so its very import ant to study all
those variables which effect the students life satisfaction and their performance.
Unit of analysis
In this study as the questionnaire filled by the university students so the unit of analysis is
individual. Students very well know about their satisfaction and perfectly explain which factors
affect their life satisfaction and academic performance. Thats why we use single (individual)
unit of analysis in our study. Additional, in this study all the things that we take for measurement
and comparison are non-contrived. Because in this study there is no artificial settings and all the
steps taken were as they are in actual and natural.

Type of the Study
We use causal study because we want to check the impact of independent variable on dependent
variable. Students life satisfaction and their academic performance and achievements take as
dependent variable (DV). Family satisfaction, life style of the students on the basis of urban and
rural area, socio-economic status, and university retention in public and private universities and
self esteem of the students take as independent variable (ID). Parents attention takes as
moderating variable (MV) at the family satisfaction and teaching strategies attention takes as
moderating variable (MV).
Sample Selection
In this study total sample size is 175 through non statistical formula by taking the ratio 10:1, in
which 150 filled from those students which studying in private universities and 150 from those
who studying in Government universities, having different life style and belong to different SES.
This is sufficient sample size for our study due to time issue. This study is discussed the students
life satisfaction and their academic performance and achievements. This takes as dependent
variable (DV). In our study we independent variables (IV) such as family satisfaction in which
parents attention towards their children moderately effects, life style of the students on the basis
of urban and rural area, socio-economic status, university retention in public and private
universities in which teaching strategies is moderately effects and self esteem of a student. These
all variables are demographic and geographic variables. Thats why multiple sampling
techniques apply on our study.

Proposed data collection procedures
Structured Questionnaires are used for the data collection procedures in this study. We will
distribute the questionnaire to individual (university students) to get the data about our study and
then analyze and compare it through various tools, so then we can get present perfect results.
Proposed data analysis techniques
In this study we apply descriptive data analysis, factor analysis, correlation and regression to
check the relation between Independent and dependent variable. Through all above tools we
know the reliability of data. We want to see the impact of family satisfaction, life style, SES,
university retention and self esteem of the students towards overall life satisfaction and academic
performance of the students and also know that how hypothesis can be accept or reject.

DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS:
Correlation Analysis
Correlation analysis is the measure of relationship or association between two numeric variables
that indicate both the direction and degree. Correlation also checks the strength and direction
between the variables. Signs with the values tell about the direction of the variables.
