Abstract

Many factors such as student goals, teacher skills, school management attitudes, and curriculum have influenced students’ academic performance. In this study, we considered some core factors affecting students’ performance and their influence. The information of the research was collected by students of the Accounting Department of the National University of Mongolia and processed by the researchers. For data collection, we used descriptive and inferential statistics. The contribution of this study is to explore the five factors that affect students’ academic performance. These factors are students’ attitudes, profession/career choice, family support, institutional environment (materiality and teachers), and friends. The mean age of students/respondents was 22.5 years. About 81% of the respondents were between 18-21 years of age, 11% were 22-25 years and others were above 26 years old. And 80% of the students were female, and 20% were male. 66% of the respondents’ parents’ income were only up to 2 million tugrugs. 66% of the respondents’ families have 2-3 children and 22% have more than three children. About 55.26% of the students are on average in terms of their performance in the course of study, 23.68% had a high performance in the course of study and 16.67% performed poorly. The effect of five factors on students’ academic success was determined by regression analysis. According to the results of the regression analysis, the value of R Square .179 shows that about 18% variation in student performance was due to the independent variables of students’ attitude, family, institutional environment, career choice, and friends. The results of the study showed that the students’ attitude causes 41% positive variations in student performance, profession/career choice causes 2%, institutional environment (materiality and teachers) making 9% variations positive, family support causes 13% negative variation (but the significant level is low), and friend’s characteristics causes 18% positive variations in student performance.
