ABSTRACT=Student performance is a critical factor of academic achievement. Other factors like the self-efficacy and affective commitment of the students along with their psychological well-being plays a significant role in shaping their performance. The present study aims at understanding the role of self-efficacy, affective commitment and psychological well-being in the performance of the students. In order to carry out the study, the data were collected from the 308 students currently enrolled in the public sector universities of China. Smart PLS is used to check the validation of the proposed hypotheses. For this purpose the statistical technique used is the partial least square structural equation modeling. Results of the study show that self-efficacy does not play a role in the student performance in public sector universities, however, affective commitment of the students play a significant role in their performance. Similarly, the psychological well-being of the students shows substantial influence on their performance. Furthermore, the results have also indicated that psychological well-being is an important indicator of student performance. It has also been revealed that psychological well-being significantly mediates the relationship of self-efficacy and affective commitment with the student performance. The students who availed the digital mental health services were found to have a low relationship between their self-efficacy and performance.
