The current study aimed to identify the relative contribution of each of the research self-efficacy and achievement goals orientations by the research motivation of faculty members in the departments of psychology and special education in Saudi universities. The study sample consisted of (141) faculty members. Research self-efficacy, achievement goals orientation scale, and research motivation scale were used as study instruments. The results of the study indicated the significant contribution of research self-efficacy in predicting internal research motivation, while it indicated no significant contribution of it in predicting external research motivation. The results also indicated the predictive ability research self-efficacy in predicting mastery goals orientation , while it indicated no significant contribution of it in predicting performance goal orientation. The results also indicated the predictive ability of mastery goals orientations by internal research motivation, and the predictive ability of performance goals orientations by external research motivation, and it showed the mediating effect of mastery goals orientations in the relationship between research self-efficacy and internal research motivation.
