Pearson correlation coefficient showed that academic commitment has a positive and significant correlation with self-efficacy (r = 0.469, P = 0.0001(and achievement motivation (r = 0.574, P = 0.0001(. The results also showed that self-efficacy with a path coefficient of 0.247 with the mediating role of achievement motivation ffects on academic commitment (t = 7.727, P = 0.0001(.
