This article explores the relationship between self-actualization and academic performance within the context of group relations. Reviewing various studies and utilizing diverse methodologies, the research examines correlations among self-actualization, group relations, and academic outcomes. The findings reveal a positive and significant correlation between self-actualization and academic performance. Both male and female students demostrate a relationship between self-actualization and group dynamics, though the strength and expression of this relationship may vary by gender. For male students, group dynamics may play a more significant role in the process of self-actualization. The study found a weak correlation between group relations and self-actualization among males, and almost negligible impact among females. Overall, the effect of group dynamics on academic performance is minimal. Consequently, enhancing students’ academic performance may require increasing their self-actualization opportunities and creating a conducive environment for it.
