ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore the impact of study habits on academic motivation of college students. A sample of 120 college students aged 18-25 years participated in the study. Participants were selected equally from both government and private colleges. Self-report measures assessed study habits and academic motivation. Study Habit Inventory, and The Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) 1992, were administered through a Google form and off-line mode. The data was analyzed quantitatively by correlation and regression using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results revealed significant positive correlation of academic motivation with study habit total, further suggesting a significant impact of Study Habits dimensions (budgeting time, learning motivation, and taking examination) on academic motivation of college students.
