Abstract

Self-efficacy is defined as person’s confidence in relation to his/her abilities and this confidence has an important role in one's success and failures. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity with achievement motivation of students. This research is a descriptive-correlational study. For this purpose, 308 ninth grade students from Salmas city were selected by cluster sampling. General self-efficacy of Sherer, emotional intelligence of Shot, creativity of Abedi and achievement motivation of Hermens questionnaires were administered among the participants. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used. The results showed that there is significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity with self-efficacy. Also, there is significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity with achievement motivation through the mediation of self-efficacy. Moreover, the results of structural equation modeling indicated the fitness of research models. According to the findings, it can be said that self-efficacy mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity with achievement motivation. On this basis, and by taking into account the variables such as emotional intelligence, creativity and self-efficacy, we can improve students’ achievement motivation.
