Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of
self -actualization, with primary emphasis on the possible
correlation to academic achievement exhibited by the students
in the Information Systems (Telecommunications) curriculum at
the Naval Postgraduate School.
The author provides a summary of an extensive review of
the literature on the concepts of "self" and "self -actualization,"
including the classical and contemporary views of self,
the history of self -actualization, and Maslow's characteristics
of a self -actualizing man.
In addition, the results of scores obtained from the
Shostrom POI , a personality inventory constructed to measure
levels of self -actualization, is correlated to the grade
point averages of the aforementioned students. A curvilinear
relationship was found between some of the scales of the POI
and academic achievement.
In conclusion, the limitations of the study as well as
possible avenues for future research are discussed.
