Medical students' motivation and academic performance: the mediating roles of self-efficacy and learning engagement.

Conclusions: This study provided researchers with a holistic picture of students' types of motivation in relation to academic performance. Findings from this study can help in rethinking the role of self-efficacy in medicine, in finding more effective interventions for promoting medical students' levels of motivation, and in developing motivation-related counselling methods for different groups of medical students.
