The purpose of this study was to explain the causal model between motivational beliefs and self-efficacy with the mediating role of academic hope in high school students. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The sample size was 558 (248 girls and 310 boys) from high school students (tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade) in Shiraz, Iran in 2019. They were selected through multistage cluster sampling method. The tools used in this research included Pintrich and De Groot self-regulation learning strategies scale (1990), Sohrabi and Samani academic hope scale (2011), and Gink and Morgan student self-efficacy scale (1999). LISREL software was used for statistical calculations. Data analysis used path analysis test that showed that academic hope plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between Motivational beliefs and academic self-efficacy. Also, the fitting indices of the model in the present study showed that the proposed model has a well fit.
