Abstract

Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati subjektivnu dobrobit i akademsko postignuće kod studenata te
utvrditi u kakvom su odnosu motivacija, samoefikasnost i lokus kontrole sa subjektivnom
dobrobiti i postignućem. Uzorak je činilo 364 studenta i studentica različitih fakulteta
Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, prosječne dobi od 21.34 godine (SD = 2.28). Istraživanje je provedeno
putem online upitnika, a od instrumenata su korišteni Ljestvica akademske motivacije
(Vallerand i sur., 1989), Ljestvica opće samoefikasnosti (Schwarzer i Jerusalem, 1995),
Rotterova ljestvica unutarnjeg prema vanjskom mjestu kontrole potkrepljenja (Rotter, 1966) te
Ljestvica zadovoljstva životom (Diener i sur., 1985). Rezultati pokazuju da studenti s visokom
subjektivnom dobrobiti imaju i visoku samoefikasnost, više su intrinzično motivirani, imaju
internalni lokus kontrole i nižu razinu amotivacije. Studenti koji imaju nižu razinu amotivacije
te višu razinu samoefikasnosti i intrinzične motivacije, ostvaruju i veće akademsko postignuće.
Nadalje, amotivacija i eksternalni lokus kontrole su negativni, a samoefikasnost i internalni
lokus kontrole pozitivni prediktori subjektivne dobrobiti. Utvrđena je medijacijska uloga
intrinzične motivacije na odnos samoefikasnosti i subjektivne dobrobiti. Također je utvrđeno
da su ženski spol i samoefikasnost pozitivni prediktori akademskog postignuća, dok intrinzična
motivacija i amotivacija nisu značajni prediktori akademskog postignuća studenata Sveučilišta
u Zagrebu.

Abstract (english)

Motivation, self-efficacy and locus of control of college students as predictors of academic
achievement and well-being
The aim of the research was to examine subjective well-being and academic achievement of
college students and to determine the relationship between motivation, self-efficacy, locus of
control and subjective well-being and academic achievement. The sample consisted of 364
students attending different faculties of the University of Zagreb, with a mean age of 21.34
years (SD = 2.28). The research was conducted through an online questionnaire, and the folloing
instruments were used: Academic Motivation Scale (Vallerand et al., 1989), General SelfEfficacy Scale (Schwarzer and Jerusalem, 1995), Rotter’s Scale of Internal Versus External
Control of Reinforcement, RI-E (Rotter, 1966) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al.,
1985). The results show that students with high subjective well-being also have high selfefficacy, are more intrinsically motivated, have internal locus of control and lower levels of
amotivation.. Students with lower level of amotivation, and a higher level of self-efficacy and
intrinsic motivation, also have greater academic achievement. Furthermore, amotivation and
external locus of control are negative, and self-efficacy and internal locus of control are positive
predictors of subjective well-being. The mediation role of intrinsic motivation on the
relationship of self-efficacy and subjective well-being has been established. It was also found
that self-efficacy and female gender are positive predictors of academic achievement, while
intrinsic motivation and amotivation are not significant predictors of academic achievement of
students of the University of Zagreb.
