Abstract:
The research gets its importance from dealing with an important subject, like (Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency), since this subject represents a wide segment of the population; i.e., students. Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency plays a significant role in effecting tht : student's achievement and its objectives. It is one of the essentjal determiners of the personality; because students' perception of their abilities influences their thinking processes, their emotional reactions in various stages, their explanation of factors which cause their success or failure, and the emotional attitudes which accompany those ii explanations and which are towards self and towards the task which they were in charge of. When the student realizes that he has the ability to control his behavior, thoughts, and feeling, he will become more capable of dealing with the pressures facing him; hence, he "lill become more capable of building good relations with others. ·The current research aims at : First : measuring Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency for university students : 1 - for total sample2 - balance among marks according to the variable of : a - type (male - female)b - specialty (scientific - humane)c - class (second - fourth)Second : measuring some personal traits represented by (motivation for achievement, mental efficiency, subjectivity, control) for universitystudents : 1 - for total sample2 - balance among marks according to the variable of : a - type (male - female)b - specialty (scientific - humane)c - class (second - fourth) Third : 1neasuring transformational leadership for university students : 1 - for total sample2 - balance among marks according to the variable of : a - type (male - female)b - specialty (scientific - humane)c - class (second - fourth) Fourth : uncover the relation between Perceived Academic Self - · Efficiency and some personality traits and transformational leadership for university students. This may be done by knowing the participation percentage of both, some personality traits and transfonnational leadership, in Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency.This is to reach the predictive equation which predicts the level of Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency in terms of these two variables.Descriptive, analytical methodology is used to uncover Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency and its relation to some traits andtransformational leadership. The research tools are : First : a tool of measuring Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency Second : a tool of measuring some personality traits Third : a tool of measuring transformational leadership The college sample is selected from Baghdad university colleges, the' second and fourth classes, male and female, scientific and humane specialties, using the stratified random method. After that, student 1 sample is selected , using the stratified random method, and the I number of male amounts to 300 students, the number of female i amounts to 300 students, 300 scientific specialty, and 300 humane specialty.The researcher prepared three measurements : 1 - Measurement of Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency. It consists of 68 paragraphs, and limited by 8 domains : cognitive domain, social domain, behavioral domain, emotional domain, self - confidence domain, domain of trusting others, ethical domain, domain ofinsistence and perseverance. 2 - Measurement of some personality traits. It consists of 74 paragraphs, and limited by 4 factors : motivation for achievement, mental adequacy, subjectivity, control.3 - Measurement of transformational leadership. It consists of 20 paragraphs, and limited by four dimensions : ideal influence, inspirational motivation, mental stimulation, individual consideration.The reliability of Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency measurement is checked by apparent reliability and indications of constructional reliability. The validity of the measurement is checked by alpha coefficient of internal consistency which is (0,89). is checked by apparent reliability, indications of constructional reliability. The validity of the measurement is checked by alpha coefficient of internal consistency which is (0,89).The reliability of the measurement of transformational leadership is checked by apparent reliability, indications of constructional reliability. The validity of the measurement is checked by alpha coefficient of internal consistency which is (0,77).To statistically analyze the data, the researcher used independent twosarnple t - test, Pearson correlation coefficient, t - test to test the significance of correlation coefficient, alpha coefficient of internal consistency, normal error equation, one - sample t - test, triple variance analysis, multiple correlation coefficient and multiple linear slope~ The study concluded the following results : First : regarding the first target : measuring the Perceived Academ1c Self - Efficiency for individuals of research sample, according to (type, specialty, class) variable. The results show the following : 1. The research sample has a higher level of the hypothetical average of Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency.2. There is no statistically significant difference at 0.05 level among the students' marks according to the three research variables (type, 3. sTpheecriea litsy ,n ocl aressa)c.t ion between (type and class), (specialty and class), (type, specialty, and class) in its effect on Perceived Academi Self - Efficiency.4. There is a statistically significant reaction between (type i specialty) in its effect on Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency. I Second : regarding the second objective I measurement of slim personality traits for individuals of 1he research according to ct!irspecialty, class) variable, the findings show the following : l. The research sample has a higher level of the hypothetical avera of personality traits.2. The research sample has a higher level of the hypothetical avera of (trait of motivation to achievement, trait of mental adequac , subjectivity trait, control trait).3. There is a statistically significant difference at 0.05 level betj<.ve the marks of males and females, for the favor of females. There is no statistically significant difference at 0.05 level among the students' marks according to the variable (specialty, class).5. There is a statistically significant reaction between (type and specialty) and between (type, specialty, class) in its effect on personality traits.6. There is no statistically significant reaction between (type and class) and between (specialty, class) in its effect on personality traits.Third : regarding the third objective I measurement of transformational leadership for individuals of the research sample, according to (type, specialty, class) variable, the findings show the following : 1. The research sample has a higher level of the hypothetical average of transformational leadership.2. There is no statistically significant difference at 0.05 level between the marks of students, according to the variable (specialty, class). 3. There is a statistically significant difference at 0.05 level between the marks of students of scientific branch and those of humane branch, favoring the former.4. There is no statistically significant reaction between (type and specialty) and between (type, class) and between (specialty, class) in its effect on transformational leadership.5. There is no statistically significant reaction between (type, pecialty, class) in its effect on transformational leadership. ourth : regarding the fourth objective I to uncover the correlationalelation between the dependent variable (Perceived Academic Selffficiency) and the two independent variables (personality traits and ransformational leadership).he results show the following : 1. The relation between (Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency) and some personality traits and transformational leadership) is a relation fa positive function.. Some personality traits and transformational leadership have a articipation of statistical significance in prediction of Perceived cademic Self - Efficiency. The variable of some personality traits has a higher contribution, followed by the transformational leadership variable in the prediction of Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency.Depending on the research's results and conclusions, the researcher subrnitted so1ne recommendations and suggestions. The recommendations include : 1. The participation of the youth in meaningful activities which increase their academic efficiency.2. Universities should construct centers of psychological guidance. 3. Media institutions should participate in guiding fathers and mothers so that they may support the feelings of Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency.The suggestions are : 1. To focus future efforts on conducting a study that focuses on taking care of the construction of student's character and the development of his academic efficiency. '2. Conducting a study that deal with the relation of Perceived Academic Self - Efficiency with some negative personality traits which may hamper the student's efficiency and abilities
