Abstract

This study aims to examine the contribution of emotional intelligence and achievement motivation to grit among scholarship recipient students, with a comparison between science (exact) and non-science (non-exact) fields. Using an ex post facto design, the participants were 350 scholarship recipients at Universitas Negeri Semarang selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS), Achievement Motivation Scale, and Grit Scale for Children and Adults (GSCA). Data analysis employed multiple linear regression. The results showed that emotional intelligence significantly contributed to grit (? = 0.298, p < 0.05), while achievement motivation demonstrated a stronger contribution (? = 0.712, p < 0.05). Simultaneously, both variables explained 62.8% of the variance in grit. In addition, science students exhibited higher levels of grit compared to non-science students. These findings indicate that grit among scholarship recipients is shaped by emotional and motivational factors as well as academic context, highlighting the importance of counseling interventions that strengthen emotional regulation and achievement motivation.
