Pengaruh Goal Orientation dan Perceived Social Support terhadap Motivasi Akademik pada Mahasiswa Suku Batak

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of goal orientation and perceived social support on academic motivation among Batak students. The research employed a quantitative correlational method with data collected using Likert-type scales, including the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS)-Bahasa Indonesia consisting of 29 items, the Achievement Goal Orientation–Revised with 12 items, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support comprising 12 items. The respondents were 1,133 active university students of Batak ethnicity, selected using accidental sampling. The collected data were analyzed using parametric statistical techniques, specifically multiple regression analysis. The results of the study showed that, simultaneously, both independent variables, goal orientation and perceived social support, had a significant role towards academic motivation, among Batak students (r = 0,295 p < 0,001) Based on the t-test results, the goal orientation variable had a t-value of 22,3 (p < .001), and the perceived social support variable had a t-value of 7.6 (p < .001), indicating that both variables significantly contributed to academic motivation.
