Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the causal relationships between creative self-efficacy, goal orientations, and the level of academic aspiration. The study sample consisted of 188 students (78 males and 110 females) from King Abdullah II School of Excellence, selected using stratified random sampling. Participants completed a Creative Self-Efficacy Scale, a Goal Orientations Scale, and an Academic Aspiration Scale. To test the study hypotheses, the AMOS software (Version 24) was used. The results of structural equation modeling revealed a direct and indirect positive effect between creative self-efficacy, mastery goals, performance-approach goals, and academic aspiration. They also showed a direct and indirect negative effect between creative self-efficacy and performance-avoidance goals. In addition, the findings indicated a direct and indirect negative effect between performance-avoidance goals and academic aspiration.
