บทคัดย่อ

This study aimed to examine achievement motivation levels based on planning, participation, diligence, responsibility, and endurance among students at Asia-Pacific International University and to compare differences across personal factors. The sample included 284 students, and data were collected using questionnaires. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, T-tests, and one-way ANOVA with Scheffe's post hoc test, were applied. Results indicated that most respondents were aged 19–21, had GPAs between 2.51 and 3.00, and were first-year students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. Achievement motivation levels across all aspects were rated high (mean = 3.42–4.03). Significant differences were observed in responsibility based on gender, age, and GPA. Year of study influenced planning, diligence, responsibility, and endurance, while nationality affected planning and participation. Faculty differences were statistically significant across all aspects (p < 0.05). Notably, the Mission Faculty of Nursing demonstrated the highest motivation levels, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and faculty development programs to support lower-performing groups.
