Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore and support the model fit in explaining the negativity impact of psychological well-being among young adult in academic demand and their working life during a student. This study adopts the theory of psychology well- being (PWB) as the basis. This pilot test finding involved 30 participants and partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. PWB theory emphasized two main determinants based on this pilot study. Data was collected via an online questionnaire survey as the research design used in this study was quantitative. The respondents were Malaysian young adult ranging from 20 to 24 years old. The measurement model specifies the construct's internal consistency reliability (0.39-0.884) denoting stable internal consistency reliability. Convergent validity shows indicator loadings passed the threshold value of 0.60, and discriminant validity analyzed via the (HTMT) which shows satisfactory lower threshold value of 0.80. Research finding indicate comprehensive negativity determinants towards psychological well-being based on theoretical framework model test and understanding of the main factors or disruption of learning among young adult.
