| dc.description.abstract | Achievement motivation is a global phenomenon that exists almost in every individual. In many western nations, achievement motivation is one of the recurrently researched topic. Nonetheless, in our milieu only few researches exist in account of the theme. The main purpose of the study was to examine the role of parenting dimensions and socioeconomic status on achievement motivation of children in two selected primary schools of Bole sub city, Addis Ababa. To conduct the study, quantitative correlational and regression model was employed. The sampling technique employed for this study was a blend of simple and stratified random sampling. Accordingly, a total of 198 grade 4 and 5 respondents were taken from Addis International Academy and Bole Ethio-China friendship primary school as a source of sample respondents for the study. Data were collected through questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, Pearson product moment correlation and step wise regression analysis. The findings of the study revealed that Broad-spectrum parental dimensions (parental nurturance, parental control, parental structure, parental provision of autonomy and parental consistence) were found to have relation with achievement motivation of children. Out of these parental dimensions parental control and autonomy provision are found significant contributors for achievement motivation. In general, income and educational level of mothers had been found the most important underlying factor that relate and contributes to children’s achievement motivation except father income and educational level. Parenting dimension was found to be independent of predictor variable (income and educational level of parents) except mother's income per month. Overall, significant difference between male and female children’ in their achievement motivation and the type of parental dimension they have received was observed. Finally, recommendations were forwarded based on the major findings so as to improve or enhance achievement motivation of children. | en_US |
