Students who are actively involved in campus organizations face challenges in balancing academic demands with organizational responsibilities. This study aimed to examine the influence of self-esteem and peer social support on the academic resilience of these students. The instruments used were the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Peer Social Support from Friends scale, and the Academic Resilience Scale. A purposive sampling technique was used, involving 200 students actively engaged in organizational activities. The results of the analysis showed that self-esteem and peer social support had a significant effect on academic resilience. The findings suggested that students with higher levels of self-esteem and stronger peer support tend to withstand academic pressure more effectively and fulfil their organizational responsibilities. Thus, fostering self-esteem and creating a supportive peer environment could serve as key strategies to enhance academic resilience among organizationally active students.
