The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of stress factors on psychological wellbeing
among part-time students. 150 part-time students agreed to be the respondents for this
study. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple
regressions. Descriptive statistics revealed that most respondents have moderate level of
psychological well-being. The findings of this study revealed that the work stress (r value =
0.499), family stress (r value = 0.418), academic stress (r value = 0.287 )and financial stress (r
value = 0.323) have a relationship and significantly influence on the psychological well-being.
Whereas self-efficacy and psychological well-being (r value = -0.148) has a negative
correlation. The results of multiple regression analysis indicates only two dimensions of stress
factors are significantly influence on psychological well-being i.e. work stress and family
stress as the value of p are less than 0.05 (p < 0.05). The researcher suggested that the study
on the influence and relationship of stress factors on psychological well-being among parttime
students would be continued in future and extended to all part-time students from various
programs and institutions of higher learning across Malaysi
