Measuring Life Satisfaction During the Pandemic Among Students of the Business Studies University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Oman

Abstract

The study’s goal was to determine the level of life satisfaction among Business Studies students at one of Oman’s universities. The responses are from various levels of the BSD’s post-foundation, where the survey questionnaire was distributed. The survey, which was adapted from Huebner’s MSLSS, was designed to assess life satisfaction in five areas: family, friends, school, living environment, and self. To examine the correlation of students’ life satisfaction throughout the pandemic, the data was interpreted and analyzed using descriptive analysis such as frequency, percentage, and mean, as well as Spearman’s rho coefficient. The findings revealed that gender, age, and level of studies had a significant influence on the respondents’ present living conditions. The results show a significant measure of how the respondents expressed their life satisfaction during the pandemic.
