Student motivation plays a crucial role in promoting academic achievement and supporting successful learning experiences in higher education. This study examines the relationship between student motivation and academic achievement through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA 2020 framework. Studies published between 2019 and 2023 were systematically collected from major academic databases and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that student motivation positively influences academic achievement by strengthening engagement, persistence, self-efficacy, and active participation in learning. Intrinsic motivation consistently produces more sustainable learning outcomes than extrinsic motivation, while supportive learning environments and effective instructional strategies further enhance students' motivation. However, challenges such as academic stress, burnout, declining engagement, and changing learning environments continue to affect motivation. The study concludes that strengthening student motivation is essential for improving academic achievement and long-term educational success.
