Abstract
Keeping in view the importance of learners’ motivation and engagement for successful learning, it is
essential to explore the factors of social behaviour that affect students’ motivation level and their
learning achievement. The present study examines the factors of social behaviour that affect students’
motivation level and their learning achievement at secondary school level. These factors included both,
motivational and de-motivational factors of social behaviour. The data were collected from public
sector secondary schools from six districts of Punjab, Pakistan through convenient sampling technique.
Questionnaires were used to collect the data from teachers and students. Five hundred students,
including 252 females & 248 males, and 120 teachers, including 60 males & 60 females returned the
questionnaires after filling properly. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was done to extract major
themes of questionnaires designed for students and teachers. The findings demonstrated that parents’
conflicts, peer’ bullying, teachers’ insulting attitude and students’ bad behaviour are the main factors
that de-motivate students and promote negative social behaviour in them. The students in these
circumstances lost their interest in studies. They behave roughly and violate the institutions’ rules &
regulations. On the other hand when teachers appreciate students’ good behaviour, guide them to
better future, facilitate them in learning and behave well with them it motivates them to better learning.
