Abstract
This study examines free time management and communication skills as the predictors of university students’ motivation. The study sample includes 610 undergraduate students in a variety of programs. Of the 610 students, 441 are female, 169 are male, and the mean age is 20.1 years. Their GPA averages range from 1.83 to 3.96 on a 4.0 scale. Data collection tools included three instruments. The relationship between university students' communication skills, free time management, and motivation levels are determined using correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The findings show that there are positive and meaningful relationships between students' motivation and the subscales of communication skills and free time management. These subscales include goal setting and technique, free time attitude, scheduling, evaluating, respect, ability of expression, desire, democratic attitude, value, and obstacles. In addition, a regression analysis shows that students’ motivation is predicted by their free time management and communication skills.
Highlights
Organizations are evaluated based on the quality of their products, customer satisfaction, and professional attitude
In that sense this research poses two hypotheses: (i) Free time management and communication skills are positively associated with motivation. (ii) Free time management and communication skills are the predictors of motivation
After conducting ANCOVA, the results indicated that the groups were equivalent as the findings from these tests suggested that all assumptions were met (p > .05)
Summary
Organizations are evaluated based on the quality of their products, customer satisfaction, and professional attitude. These approaches include but are not limited to making the learning activities interesting, promoting a growth mindset, developing meaningful relationships, creating a learning community, establishing high expectations, and being able to inspire students Putting these factors aside, helping students with their communication skills and teaching them on how to beneficially manage their free time may have a positive impact on their motivation as well. In addition, a theory of motivation, namely self-determination theory (SDT) was employed to explain the effects of communication skills and free time management on student motivation This theory is a contemporary one as researchers use to determine how factors in social contexts support or undermine a person’s motivation (Kahn et al, 2002)
