Abstract: A group of 205 postgraduate students were studied to see if there were any relationships between self-efficacy, self-recognition, previous successes, and academic achievement. At the start of the 24-week course, participants filled out questionnaires about their previous successes, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. As a success metric, the average rating of each student on the modules studied was used. The findings revealed significant connections between self-efficacy and self-esteem. Multiple regressions revealed that automatic efficacy influenced the connection between academic achievement and success.
