@article{2019,title={THE ROLE OF SELF-EFFICACY IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FEAR OF SUCCESS AND LIFE SATISFACTION},abstractNode={The fear of success, defined as limiting self-potential due to the concern of the results and responsibilities of success, is a form of self-sabotage. This situation is not related to the lack of knowledge, skills and potential for success, but the individual does not want to be successful, although individual and environmental conditions are sufficient for success. The aim of this study is to test hypotheses that fear of success will affect life satisfaction negatively and self-efficacy will have a mediating role to eliminate this negative effect. The sample of the study consisted of 18-25 years old 602 university students, 63.9% of them were women, 36.1% were of them men. Relational screening model was used in the study. In the collection of data, Fear of Success Scale developed by Hyland and Dann (1988) and General Self Efficacy Scale developed by Sherer Vd. (1982) and adopted Turkish by Gözüm and Aksayan (1992) and Satisfaction With Life Scale developed by Denier Vd (1985) and adopted Turkish by Yetim were used. Data were analyzed by using YEM technique. In the study, it was found that there was a significant negative relationship between fear of success and satisfaction with life and self-efficacy and in response to this, self-efficacy and life satisfaction have a positive relationship. With the inclusion of self-efficacy as a mediator variable to the relationship between fear of success and satisfaction with life, the negative effect of fear of success on satisfaction with life was eliminated. At the end of the study, suggestions were developed based on these findings.},author={Cıldız MAMIROVA-- Hasan YILMAZ},year={2019},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
