Sai Vanje Eswari

Abstract :

 As per the data, India is ranked 5th in the world, when it comes to GDP growth rate. With the growing economy and globalization, higher education in India is certainly facing a paradigm shift. With growing service industry, Undergraduate Bachelor Programs in Commerce have become hub of job providers. Accordingly, the students’ behavior and vigor is much better than what it was two decades ago. Self-actualization is the key motivating factor in the behavior of students. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between self-actualization and academic performance of undergraduate students. A sample of 100 students were analyzed based on ethnographical, exploratory and empirical research methods. The students were required to take the self-actualization test. The findings of the research suggest that there is a positive correlation between students who obtained higher grades and their self-actualization level. It was also found from the ethnographical study that the participants with high self-actualization were actively involved in Co-curricular activities as compared to the participants with lower self-actualization.
