Abstract
Much research has engaged participants who are early adolescents or tertiary students and there are few studies focusing on students during late adolescence.As an innate phenomenon, motivation is influenced by four factors of context (environment and external stimuli), temper (the internal condition of an organism), goal (goal of behavior, purpose and inclination) and instruments (instruments for achieving the goal). In order to achieve their goals, needs and instincts, human beings acquire the sufficient motivation. Particularly with respect to students, motivation for academic achievement is of great importance. By such motivation people are stimulated to successfully complete an assignment, achieving a goal or a degree of qualification in their professions.
