Abstract Despite its popularity in practice, the Grit-O Scale has shown inconsistent factorial structures and differing levels of internal consistency samples outside USA. The validity different contexts is, therefore, questionable. As such, purpose this paper was to determine whether could be used as a valid reliable measure compare grit across nations. Specifically, aim investigate validity, reliability, concurrent measurement invariance three national cohorts (Europe, USA, Hong Kong). Data were gathered from 1888 respondents stemming one USA- ( n = 471), two Kong- 361) four European 1056) universities.

Abstract Most universities are facing a crisis of student wellbeing and high failure rates. Using the Conservation Resources theory, we hypothesised that both study resources personal (academic self‐efficacy) could enhance task performance improve among university students. We conducted cross‐sectional on 431 used standardised questionnaires to assess students' levels academic self‐efficacy (ASE), availability use resources, their performance, subjective wellbeing. The results supported all direct effects outcome variables. ASE mediated relationship between well‐being but did not mediate performance. In addition, Addressing interplay positive outcomes (i.e. wellbeing) can foster optimal learning environments support success This promote holistic development contribute well‐rounded flourishing student. Context implications Rationale for this study: explores how (ASE) as resource functions psychological mechanism explains effect outcomes. Understanding these dynamics inform strategies leading better improved Why new findings matter: By understanding role in mediating students, educational practices, more effective allocation, programmes bolster confidence. interventions broader discussions create supportive prioritise mental health. Implications educators policymakers higher education institutions: emphasises need institutions focus enhancing overall Access quality materials is crucial should be prioritised. Programmes boost self‐efficacy, such mentoring, counselling, workshops, recommended, alongside curriculum integration self‐efficacy‐promoting activities like goal setting reflective practices. Institutions also provide comprehensive services growth, including health skills initiatives. Updating library collections, technology access, fostering faculty‐student collaboration essential actions. Additionally, implementing services, skill programmes, peer collaborative directly utilisation. Continuous evaluation sustained success.

Academic task performance (TP) refers to the proficiency with which students perform in academic tasks through making right choices and completing core central their studies, on time specification. We adapted Koopmans et al.’s scale (TPS) for use within tertiary education investigated its psychometric properties, internal consistency measurement invariance across age, gender national groups university ( n = 3,265). The results showed that a hierarchical ESEM model one higher-order factor consisting of management efficiency fitted data best. TPS exhibited full age groups, implying latent mean scores can be used determine differences. However, could only partially established cohorts, cross-national comparisons may not possible. These findings offer preliminary support as valid instrument gauging students’ performance.
