Abstract

Guglielmino’s self-reporting SDLR questionnaires was used to determine SDLR level, to study the effects of various factors (gender, age, work experience and year of study) and the relationship between SDLR score and academic performance (cgpa) among postgraduate students in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). 123 postgraduate students responded to the email survey via Google form. Results indicated that SDLR level among postgraduate students in UNIMAS was average. Using parametric tests (t-test and one-way ANOVA) it was discovered that there was no significant difference in SDLR level when comparing between gender, across age groups, across work experience and between year of study. Finally, in analysing the relationship between SDLR scores and academic performance (CGPA) using Pearson correlation, there was no significant correlationamong the two factors. Possible explanations for the observed results, practical implications and recommendations for future study are also discussed.
