The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the sense of self-control necessary for enhancing university students' achievement motivation influences this motivation through self-efficacy as a mediating factor. To achieve this, surveys from 300 university students across the nation were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0. The research findings are as follows: First, the hypothesis that self-control among university students affects achievement motivation was supported. Second, the hypothesis that self-control influences self-efficacy was also supported. Third, the hypothesis that self-efficacy impacts achievement motivation was confirmed. Finally, the hypothesis that self-control affects achievement motivation through the mediation of self-efficacy was supported. These results are significant as they clarify the relationship between self-control and achievement motivation while confirming the mediating role of self-efficacy.
