The aim of this study was to design and test the pattern of the effect of academic self-steem and academic excellence on academic performance by considering the intermediate role academic motivation of students.

From this population, 210 people were selected through multy-stage cluster sampling method. The proposed model was evaluated using a path analysis method.The results of this study showed that the direct relationships between academic self-steem whit academic performance (p<0.01,=β0.169); academic self-steem whit academic motivation (p<0.05,=β0.145); positive academic excellence whit academic motivation (p<0.05,=β-0.139), negative academic excellence whit academic performance (p<0.01,=β-0.462) negative academic excellence whit academic motivation (p<0.01,=β-0.413);  academic  motivation  whit  academic  performance (p<0.01,=β-0.169) were significant.
