The Conceptual Model of the Achievement Motivation in the Islamic Sources

This study aimed to obtain the components of the achievement motivation in the Islamic sources. The method of the study was ‘the qualitative analysis of the content of the religious texts’, which was applied to understand and deduce the psychological teachings derived from the Islamic sources (Shojaʻi, 2020). For this purpose, in the first step of this study, the concepts and statements related to the achievement motivation in the Islamic sources were investigated and collected. In the second step, the collected concepts and statements were studied using the principles of text preprocessing such as synonymy, polysemy, and semantic fields. In the last step, five components of the achievement motivation were identified: ‘desire to be front’, ‘utilitarianism’, ‘probability of success’, ‘strength of motivation’, and ‘the perceived moral support’. Then, in order to examine the content-related validity, their components and documentations through a survey form were offered to 13 religious and psychological experts, and they were asked to comment, by using an four-point agree, disagree scale from ‘I strongly agree’ to ‘I strongly disagree’, on the derived conceptions from the obtained documentations and conceptual components for the achievement motivation. The comments of the experts were confirmed with accuracy more than 0.85%
