Abstract

English language performance at higher education level is very important. To improve the learning performance of undergraduates, it is essential to identify the associated factors that could contribute to this enhancement. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the triple dimensions, including personality, academic performance, and family relations of the undergraduates, as well as the association between these dimensions. The study used a quantitative correlational research design involving 100 samples. The data on the triple aspects was gathered through standardized questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and P-value were adopted for data analysis. The study found that the overall mean score for personality was 3.26, indicating slightly above the medium level, and the mean score for academic performance was 2.30, indicating below the medium level. The mean score for family ties was 3.99, which indicates that the family is above the medium level. In addition, the research found that the undergraduate’s academic performance and personalities were statistically and positively associated with their family relations with (r = 0.378, p = 0.000) and (r = 0.362, p = 0.000) accordingly. The findings suggested the importance of fostering positive family relations, enabling undergraduates to develop positive personalities and improve academic performance. Future studies can be conducted using bigger sample sizes.

Abstract

The current study aims to examine the influence of social factors on the self-efficacy and job performance of Cambodian high school teachers, with a particular emphasis on the differences between gender and age groups. To achieve this, a quantitative descriptive method and a causal-comparative analysis were used with data obtained from 639 high school teachers working in four provinces in Cambodia. Specifically, four important social aspects were investigated: the impact of colleagues, education policy, the income of teachers, and the socio-economic background of teachers. The findings indicate that all social determinants have a considerable impact on the self-efficacy and performance of teachers, with salary making the most important contribution. However, there were no statistically significant differences in teachers' perceptions across gender and age groups. This means that all the teachers need additional payments as a priority. Consequently, these findings bring to light the general significance of social effects on teachers' performance and emphasize the necessity of making systemic adjustments in teacher compensation, policy implementation, and support mechanisms. In brief, theoretical and practical implications for educational development in Cambodia are offered, contributing to the expanding body of literature on teachers’ living standards. Finally, future studies should employ a mixed-methods approach better to understand the same or different regions in the country.
