This study explores the mediating role of psychological capital (PsyCap) in the association between learning goal orientation (LGO), academic satisfaction, and performance among college students. We suggest that PsyCap provides positive psychological resources through which learning-oriented students sustain the effort in academic achievement situations, contributing to academic satisfaction and performance. Seven hundred and sixty-eight (n = 768) college students completed an academic well-being survey, including LGO, PsyCap, and academic satisfaction measures. Academic performance was collected 5 months later from the University academic records of students. Path analysis results showed that LGO was directly related to academic satisfaction and performance and indirectly related through PsyCap. Statistically significant indirect effects showed a partial mediation. These results highlight the importance of positive education through investment in psychological resources to increase performance and satisfaction among college students.

学生的学习目标导向和心理资本：通往学业满意度和表现的途径

本研究探讨心理资本 (PsyCap) 在大学生学习目标导向 (LGO)、学业满意度和表现之间的关联中的中介作用。我们建议 PsyCap 提供积极的心理资源，通过这些资源，以学习为导向的学生可以在学业成就情况下保持努力，从而提高学业满意度和表现。七百六十八（n = 768) 大学生完成了一项学业幸福感调查，包括 LGO、PsyCap 和学业满意度测量。5 个月后从学生的大学学业记录中收集学业成绩。路径分析结果表明，LGO 与学业满意度和成绩直接相关，并通过 PsyCap 间接相关。统计上显着的间接效应显示部分中介。这些结果强调了通过投资心理资源来提高大学生表现和满意度的积极教育的重要性。
