Abstract

Background: The undergraduate thesis writing process is a critical phase that can adversely affect students’ psychological well-being. From an educational management standpoint, addressing this is crucial for student retention, success, and institutional quality. Methods: This quantitative study investigated the influence of emotional intelligence, optimism, and peer support on the psychological well-being of 233 thesis-writing students from two Indonesian universities. Data were collected using validated scales and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in LISREL. Results: The findings revealed that the three variables simultaneously had a positive and significant effect on psychological well-being, accounting for 89% of its variance (R² = 0.89). Each construct also contributed a significant positive effect individually. Conclusion and Implications: The results underscore the necessity for a proactive educational management approach. Higher education institutions are advised to move beyond a purely academic focus and develop comprehensive support systems. These systems should integrate structured training for emotional skills, programs to foster optimism, and university-facilitated peer support networks. Incorporating these elements into the core student affairs strategy is essential for creating a healthier learning environment and promoting sustainable academic success. This study is among the first to integrate emotional intelligence, optimism, and peer support within a single SEM-based model in the thesis-writing context, advancing the educational management literature by identifying peer support as the dominant institutional leverage point for student psychological well-being.

Abstract

This phenomenological study investigates the academic commitment of Muslim Filipino students attending Pondok Pesantren in Indonesia within the framework of transnational Islamic education. The research is grounded in Kobasa’s Academic Hardiness Theory and aims to understand how these students sustain long-term engagement in Islamic studies despite facing linguistic, cultural, and educational challenges. Using Colaizzi’s seven-step phenomenological analysis, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving seven purposively selected participants. The findings reveal that academic commitment is nurtured through an interplay of personal, spiritual, and institutional factors. Structured daily routines, internalized religious motivation, and spiritual disciplines such as tahajjud, fasting, and Qur’an memorization serve as strong intrinsic drivers. At the same time, institutional vision, regulatory systems, peer collaboration, and family encouragement create a supportive ecosystem that reinforces persistence and resilience. Academic commitment among these students thus emerges not merely as persistence in study but as a spiritual journey integrating faith, self-discipline, and communal service. The study contributes to the growing discourse on Islamic educational resilience by demonstrating how faith-based pedagogy and pesantren culture cultivate enduring academic motivation across cultural boundaries. The implications emphasize the need for transnational Islamic education institutions to integrate contextualized, spiritually anchored learning frameworks that strengthen students’ moral identity, academic perseverance, and adaptive competence in multicultural environments.
