Abstract: The aim of the present study is to provide further insights about the impact of students’ cognitive styles, learning styles, and motivation on learning outcomes in higher education. We studied management and MBA student three business schools in Belgium (n = 244), the US (n = 95), and Canada (n = 78). As hypothesised, the effect of cognitive styles on academic achievement was mediated through the intervening mechanisms of learning styles and motivation. This research contributes to the education and styles literature by investigating the combined impact of individual style differences and intervening mechanisms on student learning outcomes in an international way; and to educational practice in higher education by providing relevant insights to stimulate the design of constructive student-centred learning environments.
