A pilot study of the interdependence of academic, social and structural satisfaction in international students' intention to continue studies

This pilot study examines the relationships among academic, social, and structural satisfaction and their association with international students’ intention to continue their studies. Drawing from a holistic perspective, satisfaction is conceptualized as an interconnected experience rather than independent dimensions. Data was collected from 68 international undergraduate students using an online survey. The findings indicate that academic, social, and structural satisfaction were positively related to one another and intention to continue studies, with no significant gender differences.
