The present study determined the relationship between achievement motivation and psychological well-being among Sainik School students. A sample of 30 students was selected using a convenience sampling method. Standardized tools were used to assess achievement motivation by V.P. Bhargava and psychological well-being (Ryff) across its dimensions: autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose of life, and self-acceptance. Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis resulted that achievement motivation had a strong and statistically significant positive correlation with purpose of life (r = 0.576, p = 0.001) and total psychological well-being (r = 0.941, p < .001). However, correlations with other dimensions were positive but not found statistically significant. The findings highlight the importance of purposefulness and overall well-being in enhancing students’ motivation to achieve. Implications for educational practices and psychological interventions are discussed.
KEYWORDS
The study concludes that psychological well-being, particularly purpose in life and overall well-being, plays a valuable role in enhancing achievement motivation among Sainik School students. Promoting psychological well-being can therefore contribute to better academic performance and personal development.
