Abstract

The majority of university graduates are not qualified for the competency and working standard under the specialty of their working fields. Therefore, in order to develop high quality of the human resources, a sufficient academic engagement, which depends on the abundance of resources, is highly needed. The purpose of this research is to examine the role of social support and grit towards academic engagement among college students. To maximize the resources, this research utilizes social support as the social resources and grit as the personal resources. Using the quantitative non-experimental method, this research distributed three questionnaires: The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – 17 (UWES-17), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Grit-O to 385 college students. The result shows that both social support and grit positively affected the academic engagement among college students separately and simultaneously. Further analysis reveals that perseverance of effort, social support from family and lecturer played most important role for college students’ academic engagement.
