Abstract

Motivation is the main factor for everyone’s actions, desires, and needs. Motives are what prompt a man in a certain way or creating a certain moral tendency. Motivation is an indispensable factor in a student’s academic preparedness and desire to learn. These motivated students have the desire and curiosity to grasp the importance of education. On another note, parents and teachers can create an environment in which students' learning will be organized and achieved by encouraging students to be committed and motivated. The main purpose of the present paper was to study the effect of motivation, on academic achievement. Since academic achievement is not a function of mindfulness alone the emphasis that is placed on the contribution of mindfulness is important. As an internal phenomenon, motivation is influenced by four aspects of the situation (natural and external motivation), anger (internal physical condition), intent (moral purpose, intention and inclination) and tools (tools to achieve the goal). To achieve their goals, needs and environment, people need adequate motivation. Concerning the existing gap in the academic motivation of students, this study concluded that there has been a significant correlation between motivation indicators namely job interest, effort inclusion, competitiveness, social power, participation, social concern, compliments and token, and academic achievement. Some recommendations have been made regarding the improvement of motivation.

Key words: Academic achievement, Motivation, Psychological Behaviour, Goal.
