“…As a result, strengths as a singular variable may not be associated with life satisfaction, as hypothesised in this study. In addition, research indicates that additional factors, such as self-esteem (Douglass & Duffy, 2015) and self-image (Yoo & Lee, 2022), influence the relationship between strengths use and life satisfaction, especially within the unique context of students.…”

Orientation: This study investigated the presence and significance of the relationships between proactive behaviour towards strengths use (PBSU) and proactive behaviour towards deficit improvement (PBDI) and study demands, study resources and important student outcomes.Research purpose: To determine how students’ PBSU and PBDI relate to study demands, study resources, and student outcomes.Motivation for the study: This study aims to provide universities with insights into how study demands and resources affect students’ proactive behaviour to use their strengths and deficits, as well as the impact of these behaviours on student outcomes.Research approach/design and method: This study used a cross-sectional quantitative research approach with 511 participants from three campuses in a South African university. Correlation coefficients were calculated, and structural equation modelling was used to examine regression weights in the structural model.Main findings: PBSU and PBDI showed significant relationships with most study-related demands, resources, and outcomes. Overall, strengths use was stronger related to pace and amount of work, cognitive demands and family support, whereas deficit improvement had a stronger relationship with lecturer support, life satisfaction, satisfaction with studies and intention to drop out.Practical/managerial implications: Knowledge of the relationship between PBSU and PBDI and important student variables may aid HEIs in incorporating these behaviours into student support initiatives as a strategic imperative to enhance student success and graduate employability.Contribution/value-add: This study contributes to limited research on PBSU and PBDI among first-year students in South African universities and the Human Resource Management field in general.

The maritime industry is known for its high physical demands. Students in maritime vocational programs, who will eventually work on ships, must have a good level of physical fitness to perform demanding tasks. Without adequate physical fitness, the risk of injury and fatigue increases, which can ultimately affect workplace safety and operational efficiency. This study aims to determine the Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical fitness levels of male students at SMK Baruna Pemalang. The research design uses a descriptive quantitative method to determine BMI and physical fitness levels. The test instruments are based on the Guidelines for the Nusantara Student Fitness Test from the Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia, with a validity of 0.471 and a reliability of 0.232. A sample of 61 male students was selected from a total population of 90 students. Data analysis in this study uses SPSS 26 to describe the BMI and physical fitness levels of the male students. The results indicate that the Body Mass Index of the students falls within the normal (healthy) range for a total of 35 students, while the average physical fitness level of the students is categorized as poor, with 46 students falling into this category. The findings of this study are expected to serve as baseline data for further research to improve the physical fitness levels of maritime vocational students.

Objective. Body image is a predictor of physical, psychological, and social health. Therefore, it can be an indicator for detecting health problems, to be used in the context of higher education. The aim of this study was to assess body image satisfaction in higher education students and to determine whether body image dissatisfaction is related to lifestyle behaviours and life satisfaction. Methodology. This study included 166 Portuguese higher education students. Body image was assessed using the Figure Rating Scale. Active choices during everyday life were assessed using the Active Choice Index. The questionnaire also included questions about sleep behaviour and tobacco and alcohol consumption. Satisfaction with Life was assessed using a five-item scale previously adapted for the Portuguese population. Results. There was a predominance of boys dissatisfied with thinness (26.10%), while the majority of girls revealed that they were dissatisfied due to being overweight (55.70%). The results indicate statistically significant differences between boys and girls in terms of body image categories (p<0.001). However, when we analysed the behaviours separately according to gender, there were no differences. Active behaviours, as well as the other health behaviours analysed (hours of sleep per week and alcohol and tobacco consumption) did not differ between the different levels of body image satisfaction (p>0.05). Conclusion. Most of the students are dissatisfied with their body image, with the majority of girls showing dissatisfaction due to being overweight. Lifestyles and life satisfaction do not differ between students who are satisfied and those who are dissatisfied with their body image.
