Path analysis was used to investigate the effects of goal orientation, computer anxiety, perceived control and self-efficacy on achievement score. Results indicated that goal orientation and computer anxiety had the significant relationships to perceived control. Moreover, perceived control showed an effect on self-efficacy and self-efficacy revealed a significant positive path to achievement score. Motivational variables and anxiety had the indirect effects on achievement score mediated by self-efficacy.
