Abstract: 

Introduction. The article reveals the problem of predicting university students’ academic success. The goal of the research is to determine the basic components of a personal resource that characterize a personified subject of activity, and empirically measure their impact on the academic success of a university student.
Materials and Methods. Scientific analysis follows the resource and activity approaches based on S. L. Rubinstein and A. N. Leontiev’s methodological principle of the unity of consciousness and activity. The research methods include theoretical and methodological analysis of scholarly literature, assessment techniques, regression analysis, and methods of mathematical statistics, generalization and classification.
Results. The main research results include the identification of basic meaningful components of a personal resource in correlation with the components of personification, which, according to the authors, can be considered as predictors of a successful, personified individual. Their influence on the academic achievement of university students has been empirically identified. It has been established that the components of personal resources have different degrees of influence on university students’ academic achievement.
Conclusions. Researchers include a wide range of factors in the structure of a personal resource. The authors identified the basic components representing a personal resource, taking into account the structure of a personalized personality. It has been established that these components of personal resource can be considered as psychological predictors that determine the success of a university student in professional and educational activities. A comprehensive diagnostic study showed varying degrees of influence of the identified components on academic performance of university students.
