Correlational research design and convenient sampling technique was used to collect data. A sample of 120 undergraduate students comprised of 60 males and 60 females were recruited. Engagement Verses Disaffection (Skinner et al, 1990) and Academic Motivation Scale (Vallerand, 1992) were administered for assessment. Academic performance was measured by the student’s last semester CGPA. After the Pearson product moment correlation and hierarchal regression, the findings of this research revealed that learning engagement and academic motivation has significant relationship with academic performance while learning disaffection has negative relationship with academic performance.
