چکیده:
Students' academic motivation and concerns regarding their future careers are very important and significant, and higher education institutions play an important role in this regard. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of job selection skills in predicting the level of academic motivation in students. The research method was experimental with a pre-test/post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all students visiting the counseling center of Shahrekord University, and the sample included 40 students who lacked academic motivation or had low academic motivation, who were randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group (20 people) and the control group (20 people). The experimental group received seven 90-minute training sessions. The research tool was the academic motivation questionnaire by Walberg et al. (1985), and the data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance method. Results: The results showed that job selection skill training was significant on intrinsic academic motivation and amotivation, and was not significant on extrinsic academic motivation. Discussion: Training in job selection skills has been effective in increasing intrinsic motivation and reducing academic amotivation.
