Abstract
Learning motivation is one of the central
psychological constructs that influence university students' willingness to
engage, withstand, and succeed in learning processes. With the altering
education context of China, it is necessary to identify factors that are
influential in motivation to enhance academic success and individual
development. The independent and interactive influences of family satisfaction
and university satisfaction on learning motivation among undergraduate students
from Sichuan province, China, were examined in this study. 424 students from
six universities were recruited using stratified random sampling and
cross-sectional quantitative design was utilized using validated measures. Data
were gathered with Wenjuanxing, a secure online system, and tested with
independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple
regression analyses. Findings showed that overall learning motivation of the
students was moderate with significant differences based on gender and age.
Younger students and women were found to express more intrinsic motivation.
Satisfaction with university and family were found to correlate positively with
motivation, but that university satisfaction was the stronger predictor. Some
dimensions such as faculty support, academic resources, and personal growth
opportunities had the greatest influence. The findings highlight the reciprocal
effects of home and institutional milieus in the preservation of student
motivation. The study adds to the understanding of Chinese higher education
motivation dynamics and offers practical recommendations for developing custom,
student-centered strategies that foster engagement and academic tenacity.
