This study explores the significant psychological factors that impact academic success among students. The sample included 287 undergraduate and postgraduate students of business studies. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data, investigating the impact of students’ motivation, mental and physical health, work-life balance, and anxiety on both perceived academic success as well as quantitative indicators of academic success. The findings reveal that students’ motivation is significant for enhancing academic success. Additionally, while mental and physical health are significant contributors to academic success, balancing academic work with personal life is essential for fostering a positive perception of academic success. Conversely, anxiety, particularly exam-related, negatively affects students’ perceived academic success, highlighting the need for comprehensive support systems. These findings offer crucial insights for educators and policymakers, paving the way for innovative strategies that enhance academic success and empower students to thrive holistically, both academically and personally. By addressing the full spectrum of challenges students face, we can foster a more resilient, motivated, and successful generation of students
