Abstract
This research computed the combined effects of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and locus
of control as predictors of academic performance of students in different
universities of Karachi by using the Regression model. Previous researches were
correlational studies in nature and reported the moderate positive correlations
between the variables self-esteem, self-efficacy, and locus of control and academic
performance. A questionnaire with 40 items related to self-esteem, self-efficacy,
locus of control, and academic performance was designed. The data was collected
from the public and private universities of Karachi. Descriptive Statistics, t-test,
Correlation, and Regression were calculated through SPSS. The regression model
showed that self-esteem, self-efficacy, Locus of Control significantly predicted the
academic performance of the graduate students. In Structural Equation Modeling
self-efficacy contributed more to the academic performance of students. This
research recommends more future researches for in-depth analysis of latent
variables as the idea has not researched its maturity in the context of higher
education in Pakistan
