The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of self-efficacy, achievement goals (mastery goals and performance goals), and metacognition on academic motivation of university students in Jordan. A random sample of 145 students from the Hashemite University participated in the current study. The Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, the Goals Inventory, the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory, and the Academic Motivation Inventory were used to measure the four variables consequently. The findings of this study showed that two predictors, mastery goals and metacognition had a significant joint effect on academic motivation. On the other hand, self-efficacy failed to have a significant effect on academic motivation.
This study examined the association between type A behavior, emotional intelligence, social self-efficacy, and work motivation among faculty members at the Hashemite University in Jordan. Seventy seven faculty members responded to four measures: Type A behavior scale, emotional intelligence scale, perceived social self-efficacy scale, and work motivation scale. The results of this study revealed that emotional intelligence was positively and significantly related to work motivation. Moreover, this study confirmed the value of emotional intelligence as a significant predictor of work motivation. However, social-self-efficacy and Type A behavior proved to be non significant predictors of work motivation
