المشاركة السياسية ودافعية الإنجاز دراسة ارتباطية على التنظيمات السياسية الطالبية

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between political participation, represented in parties membership, among students and achievement motivation as a personality trait. It was hypothesized that a positive relationship exists between the two variables. The sample size was 277 students (151 males and 126 females) drawn from Khartoum University and five secondary schools in Khartoum State. The tool of data collection included a standardized questions and Abdel Fattah’s achievement motivation test. The data was analyzed using T tests, and biserial correlation, and step wise multiple regression. The result have affirmed the hypothesis by showing a relationship between achievement motivation and the type of organization (Islamic – non Islamic). However, no relationship between political participation and achievement motivation was found. The results were interpreted as indicating that achievement motivation is a multidimensional trait and it is affected by the value system of the individuals; and that political participation is affected by the socialization process.
