Abstract: In education, as in other areas of life, motivation plays a key role in achieving better results and higher goals. The goal of this paper is to identify motivational factors of students that influence their attitudes towards studying / learning and academic achievement. This research is based on a survey questionnaire conducted in May and June 2019. The motivation scale defined in the questionnaire includes 30 questions, 10 of which relate to factors of intrinsic motivation and 20 to factors of extrinsic motivation. The questionnaire was answered by 38 third and fourth year students at the e-business department at the Faculty of Economics – Skopje, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University. Initial results show several significant tendencies among respondents regarding their attitudes towards motivational factors that influence learning and their academic achievement. Namely, the results show that career and qualifications (extrinsic factor), as well as self-exploration and personal development (intrinsic factor) are strongest drivers among third and fourth year students, opposite to the social pressure (extrinsic factor) and rejection of alternative options (extrinsic factor) which were are with lowest score. This research is a pilot study, which provides a basis for further and deeper analysis, in order to better understand what factors influence student motivation for studying / learning and their academic achievements, which will contribute to improving the quality of the overall higher education process. The results are important for the teaching staff as well in order to adapt and improve the curricula and teaching methods applied.
