Abstract

Self-actualisation and positive behaviour play a principal role in life, especially among students, enabling them to overcome challenges. This study aimed to explore the comparison of self-actualisation between genders and the relationship between self-actualisation scores and academic achievement in producing positive behaviour. A total of 259 secondary-level students, comprising 125 males and 134 females, participated in this quantitative study. Questionnaires were distributed to collect data, and correlation and t-test analyses were conducted. The findings indicated that there was no significant difference in self-actualisation between genders and academic achievement in producing positive behaviour. This indicates that the self-development programs and psychological interventions in schools are important for creating an environment that supports personal growth without gender bias. Similarly, the lack of a significant difference between academic achievement and self-actualization suggests that academic factors are not the only ones influencing students' positive behavior. Instead, other elements, such as emotional support, social involvement, and extracurricular experiences, may play a greater role in shaping students' behavior.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the level of burnout (emotional desolation, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) and job satisfaction (job type, salary, promotion opportunities, supervisory, and collea-gues) among teachers of religious education in Brunei Darussalam (referred to as IRK teachers in this study). This study involved 238 teachers who are teaching the Islamic Revealed Knowledge (IRK) subject in all the government secondary schools in Brunei Darussalam. Instruments used for data collection, namely the Mas-lach Burnout Inventory and the Job Descriptive Index (JDI). In this study, results showed that the level of burnout of the IRK teachers is at a moderate level which gives an indication that most of them were able to control their emotions although their career as teachers is very challenging and tiring. Another factor that could contribute to this phenomenon is that the level of job satisfaction among the teachers is high, especi-ally in the aspect of promotion and colleagues. Hence, colleagues at the workplace could affect the teachers’ burnout level because they see their colleagues as supportive and continuously give them strong moral sup-port. Not only is human-to-human support needed to positively handle the burnout level, but it also needs institunionalized programs to improve the general climate and relatiop with the colleagues.
