Abstract:
This research aims to find out the level of motivation of students and the influence of motivation on PAI learning achievement in schools on MIN 3 Bantul students. This research is a quantitative study using product moment correlation statistics technique. The analytical technique used is an associative hypothesis. The variables studied include learning motivations that are divided into sub variables namely personal needs, school assignments, as well as the environment and people around. While dependent variables (bound variables) are learning achievements that include: academic achievement, non-academic achievement, social achievement and discipline-related achievements. The results showed that learning motivation affects PAI students' learning achievement of MIN 3 Bantul by 51.4%. This means that learning motivation is one of the determining factors of PAI's learning achievements. While 48.6% of PAI students' learning achievement of MIN 3 Bantul students is influenced by internal factors such as IQ, perseverance; and external factors such as family issues, friendships etc.). This indicates that motivation is both a driver and a direction in learning activities.

Abstract:
Women's educational and occupational achievements are crucial to the economic productivity and prosperity of the nation, as well as to the mental health of women and their families. In this article we review psychological research on motivation and on educational achievement, focusing on gender and the contributions that have been made by feminist researchers. Feminist psychologists noted the sex bias and methodological flaws in traditional research on achievement motivation and proposed vastly improved models, such as Eccles's expectancy x value model of achievement behavior. Contrary to stereotypes, gender similarities are typically found in areas such as mathematics performance. Policymakers should be concerned about gender bias in the SAT and about the Female Underprediction Effect. Additional threats to girls' and women's achievements include stereotype threat and peer sexual harassment in the schools.

Abstract:
Analyzing studies on motivation carried out by foreign scholars in 2017–2019 one can identify the following trends in search of motivational factors of achievements at school level and family miсrocommunity: the desire to stand out and assimilate, attractiveness and popularity, family tradition of education, relationships with parents, self-image, resilience. These studies distinctly show the value of motivational climate and suspended individual supporting strategies focused on life goals, including emotional involvement. Deep involvement in school life and the authority of the teacher can be regarded as predictors of high achievement motivation of junior adolescents. The review analyzes the reasons of reduction in learning motivation of high schoolers. The article discusses the models that demonstrate the role of belief in self-efficacy and role of mother and father in the formation of school achievement motivation. The authors show that scientists gradually shift the emphasis in the direction of non-invasive ways of shaping the «induced» learning motivation and targeted motivation for learning of particular top-requested disciplines.

Abstract:
Educational games have great potential as tools for motivating and engaging students, in addition to teaching learning content and objectives, but have had difficulty proving their potential through traditional means. This article proposes that recent advances in the achievement systems of entertainment games can be used to measure motivation and engagement in educational games, and can serve as a self-assessing tool for both students and teachers. Achievements may also be utilized as a way to measure things that have been traditionally difficult to measure, such as creativity, curiosity, and the nuances of problem-solving ability. This article proposes a structure for categorizing achievements in relation to assessment, and discusses future research directions for achievements as measures of assessment for educational games. The article covers both traditional and non-traditional measures of assessment as they relate to gaming achievement systems, as well as the psychological aspects of achievements and player behavior, good design principles for learning assessment achievements, and potential for achievements as an additional measure of motivational engagement by students.

Abstract:
Encouraging children's intrinsic motivation can help them to achieve academic success (adelman, 1978; adelman & taylor, 1986; gottfried, 1983, 1985). To help students with and without learning disabilities to develop academic intrinsic motivation, it is impoptant to define the factors that affect motivation (adelman & chaney, 1982; adelman & taylor, 1983). This article offers educators an insight into the effects of different motivational orientations on the school learning of students with learning disabilities, as well as into the variables affecting intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Also included are recommendations, based on empirical evidence, for enhancing academic intrinsic motivation in learners of varying abilities at all grade levels.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the psychological patterns of dynamic manifestations of athlete’s motivation for achieving results in individual sports, as well as peculiarities of its transformation, taking into account professional becoming and the impact on self-efficacy The object of this research is the achievement motivation of athletes in individual sports. The author aims to empirically assess the impact of structural organization of achievement motivation of athletes upon their performance and achievements. Relying on the methods of nomothetic analysis of the data on the achievement motivation of over than 500 athletes, as well as their achievements, the article builds the system of independent equations that allow analyzing the impact of basic motivational factors (ego orientation, task solution, and material values) upon the effectiveness of athletes of the corresponding professional age group. The main conclusion consists in the revealed patterns that determine the effectiveness of an athlete depending on the structural organization of achievement motivation. Leaning on the developed system of independent equations, the author determines the level of sensitivity of achievements to the structure of the motive of athletes in individual sports. It is established that the degree of performance of an athlete is most sensitive to changes in the "task-solution orientation" factor. However, the progress in professional development leads to inclination towards the "material factor". The novelty of consists in modernization of the existing approaches and algorithms towards studying the achievement motivation (approaches of R. A. Piloyan, E. P. Ilyin, A. C. Puni, etc.) within the framework of using the dynamic analysis of the three-dimensional structure of motivation ("ego", "tasks", "material factors") applicable to athletes in individual sports. This allowed substantiating the need to use such mathematical-statistical models that are able to forecast the performance of an athlete depending on the structural organization of basic motives in each professional group.

Abstract:
Despite the surge of studies on employee achievement motivation, there is little research that looks at the combination of self-efficacy and social adjustment as predictors of achievement motivation in Nigeria. Hence, this paper examines the influence of self-efficacy and social adjustment on achievement motivation in Nigeria’s banking industry. The study’s sample was drawn from six banks (Guarantee Trust Bank, First Bank of Nigeria, United Bank for Africa, Ecobank, First City Monument Bank, and Access Bank) in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Also, it assumes a quantitative research approach. In this study, questionnaires were distributed randomly, and out of 200 questionnaires, 149 were suitable for analysis. Hence, the analysis was completed using the SPSS version 26. The results of this paper reveal that self-efficacy provided about 22% of influence and social adjustment about 82% of the influence on variance in achievement motivation among bank employees. Further results showed that gender, marital status, educational qualification and work experience have a significant and independent influence on achievement motivation among bank employees. The findings denote that increased levels of self-efficacy and social adjustment significantly predict achievement motivation. Therefore, human resource managers in Nigeria’s banking industry should always consider the psychosocial factors of employees, which will help management to know the practical measures and motivating conditions that are useful for enhancing achievement motivation. Also, banking industry managers should train employees in social adjustment skills that will help them managing their life achievements.

Abstract:
Achievement motivation is part of every performance, not just in sport. The aim was to find out what the average indicators of achievement motivation of students in sports gymnasium are and compare them with indicators of the general population, between men and women, between the youngest and oldest classes and types of sports played. For the measurement of achievement motivation has been used a standardized questionnaire achievement motivation (D-M-V). The results found that the achievement motivation among students of sports gymnasium is the average, we can find the highest motivation in athletics, achievement motivation of men and women is the same, the youngest classes show a lower level of achievement motivation compared to the oldest classes. Utility of the research is mainly for directing sports gymnasium that can improve teaching less motivated sports. Also for parents deciding between a sport offered by school or by an individual. Trainers and PE (physical education) teachers can make use in their job of the fact that achievement motivation is the same on both sexes, and they can use the same motivational methods.

Abstract:
Cassidy and Lynn (1989) synthesized an achievement motivation measure based on earlier scales. Their final measure assessed seven facets of motivation: Acquisitiveness for material wealth, Dominance, Competitiveness, Status Aspiration, Pursuit of Excellence, Work Ethic, and Mastery. Others (e.g., Sansone & Harackiewicz, 2000) have found that people are driven by two general motivational forces: intrinsic motivation is performing an activity for the pleasure inherent in the activity, whereas extrinsic motivation is driven by external factors. We hypothesized that Cassidy and Lynn's seven measures would cluster around intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

Abstract:
Previous research has investigated motivations for reading by examining positive or affirming motivations, including intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy. Related to them, we examined two negative, or undermining, motivations consisting of avoidance and perceived difficulty. We proposed that the motivations of intrinsic motivation and avoidance are relatively independent and thus can be combined to form meaningful profiles consisting of avid, ambivalent, apathetic, and averse readers. With Grade 5 students we found that these motivations were relatively independent for both Caucasian and African American students. The two motivations uniquely explained a significant proportion of variance in reading comprehension and other cognitive reading variables. Although intrinsic motivation correlated higher with achievement than avoidance for Caucasians, avoidance correlated higher with achievement than intrinsic motivation for African Americans. For both groups, the profile of avid readers showed higher reading achievement than the other profiles.

Abstract:
Research has established that academic intrinsic motivation, enjoyment of school learning without receipt of external rewards, significantly declines across childhood through adolescence. Math intrinsic motivation evidences the most severe decline compared with other subject areas. This study addresses this developmental decline in math intrinsic motivation, and also serves as a resource for applied researchers by providing exemplary illustrations of approaches to longitudinal modeling. Using a multivariate latent change model, the longitudinal relationship between academic intrinsic math motivation and math achievement among participants ( n = 114) aged 9—17 years was examined to explain this motivational decline. On average, both math motivation and achievement decreased over time. This study reveals that math achievement is a significant contributor to the developmental decline in intrinsic math motivation from childhood through adolescence. In addition, academic intrinsic math motivation was found to be related to initial and later levels of mathematics achievement. These findings enhance understanding of developmental processes whereby early motivation and achievement are related to subsequent declines in mathematics.

Abstract:
Achievement motivation is a concept that can be used for the explanation of individual differences in achievement and success in various contexts as well as an explanation of motivated behaviour. Despite the fact that a generally accepted definition of achievement motivation is still lacking because of disagreement over the traits it encompasses, numerous studies have been conducted on this subject. Researchers agree that achievement motivation is an important factor in professional life, particularly in achieving high professional success when external demands for focusing activity on achieving goals are minimal. It is of particular importance for those activities that have low structure levels and high autonomy. The study included 267 employed adults (124 males and 143 females) older than 18 years. Participants completed the Achievement Motivation Inventory (AMI) which consists of 17 achievement motivation scales. Individual scales form three clusters of motivational facets relating to self-assurance, ambition and self-control. The aim of the study was to determine the existence of gender differences in individual achievement motivation dimensions in employed adults in the Republic of Croatia. The results show the existence of significant gender differences in achievement motivation facets related to self-assurance and ambition in favour of males (e.g. confidence in success, dominance, and fearlessness) and self-control in favour of females. These results are in agreement with previous research and contribute to the usefulness of multifaceted measures of achievement motivation. Keywords: achievement motivation, gender differences, AMI

Abstract:
With the belief that theoretical integration in motivation may help us better understand motivational behavior, we designed this study to explore adolescents’ motivational profiles and their associations with knowledge acquisition, leisure-time exercise behaviors, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Middle school students from a large urban inner-city school district (N = 603, ages 12–14) completed questionnaires assessing motivational constructs and leisure-time exercise behavior. Knowledge and cardiorespiratory fitness were also assessed with a knowledge test and the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test, respectively. Using hierarchical cluster analysis, we found that students’ motivation in physical education could be explained from a multi-theoretical perspective. The interactive patterns among different motivation constructs were homogeneous overall and associated with in-class effort, knowledge, and leisure-time exercise behavior. These findings suggest that students’ development in physical education may depend upon a collective impact of changes in knowledge, physical activity ability, and sources of motivation.

Abstract:
This study investigates the influence of parents' socio-economic conditions and attention to motivation to learn and learning achievement, moreover, also examine the mediation of motivation to learn on the influence of socio-economic conditions and parents' attention toward learning achievement. This study uses the ex-post-facto method. The data collection used in this study was questionnaires. The study population was eighth-grade students of junior high school in Medan, Indonesia, as many as 213 people and the samples taken were 138 people. The data analysis technique uses here as path analysis. The findings in the study are the socio-economic conditions and parents' attention directly, positively and significantly influence students' motivation to learn. Then the parents' socio-economic conditions, parents' attention, and motivation to learn have a positive and significant direct effect on learning achievement. Furthermore, motivation to learn is considered to mediate the influence of socio-economic conditions and parents' attention to social studies learning achievement. Parents' attention also mediates the influence of parents' socio-economic conditions on motivation to learn and learning achievement. Learning achievement is more accessible to achieve for families with adequately socio-economic conditions. Social studies learning achievements can be improved by increasing the attention of parents because it will increase motivation and further improve learning achievement.

Abstract:
In relation to E-learning, achievement motivation is the persistent drive that students have to succeed to a particular degree of quality in a competitive environment. Goals, task values, ability self-concepts, and achievement motives are only a few of the many diverse constructions that make up achievement motivation, which is not one single construct. According to the few studies that have looked at different motivation constructs as predictor variables of university students’ academic achievement well beyond cognitive abilities and achievement motivation, most motivational constructs predicted educational success beyond intelligence, and students’ ability self-concepts as well as task morals are more potent in predicting their achievement than goals and achievement motives. However, an effort was made in this study to examine the impact of academic achievement motivation on university students inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the variables that influence motivation for achievement. It was predicted that these variables include ability, effort, perseverance, responsibility, the viewpoint of the teacher, and tasks. The major data collection strategy used by the researchers to accomplish their research goal involved distributing a questionnaire to 248 students. Structural equation modeling (SEM), a quantitative research technique, was used to produce the results. Because all of the criteria were significantly correlated in this study, it can be concluded that the tasks assigned to students and the perspective of the teacher both contribute to students’ motivation for achievement. The significance of the findings for studying motivational constructs with various theoretical underpinnings and structural models is highlighted. The associations among all hypotheses were investigated using the following variables based on the suggested model: aptitude, efforts and persistence, duties, the teacher’s viewpoint, and tasks.

Abstract:
PurposeThe achievement motivation construct has long presented a significant challenge to the study of presidential leadership. The purpose of this paper is to overcome the limitations of prior research by proposing that whether achievement motivation is related to effectiveness in the US presidency may not be a matter of if but how achievement motivation is manifested.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the channeling hypothesis, it was proposed that presidents’ trait behaviors should be accounted for as they directly impact the way that presidents express achievement motivation. To test this thesis, this study relied on data generated from diverse sources that provide both direct and indirect information about US presidents’ personalities and effectiveness, including content analyses of inaugural addresses and presidential biographies and surveys completed by presidential biographers and scholars.FindingsResults show that among achievement motivated presidents, display of motive-congruent, conscientious behaviors contributes to their effectiveness, whereas display of motive-incongruent, agreeable behaviors tends to detract from it.Research limitations/implicationsThe small sample size of US presidents and the limited amount of archival data available for some of these subjects prevented more fine-grained analyses. Thus, further research among senior leaders is needed to not only confirm the explanatory mechanism offered herein, but also explore the possibility that there are optimal levels beyond which the personality traits under study may cease to be a help or hindrance to achievement motivated chief executives.Originality/valueThis study represents the first effort to formally integrate motives and traits in the study of chief executives. The findings of this research also substantiate the need for researchers to consider the complex nature of motives in predicting important outcomes across different contexts.
