abstract: This study focuses on factors influencing learning achievement in an Open-Distance-
Learning environment of a higher education institution. This study explores the
relationship between academic self-efficacy and individual learner characteristics on
learning achievement (learning transfer, generalisation, and maintenance). Moreover,
this study investigates the role of learner goal orientation. The objectives of the study
are, first, to investigate a proposed model to represent theoretical relationship between
academic self-efficacy, learner characteristics and learning achievement. Secondly, to
confirm learner goal orientation moderates the relationship between learner selfefficacy
and training effectiveness. The measures employed in the study are adopted
from past studies; goal orientation, self-efficacy and learning achievement using a fivepoint
Likert scale. The study utilised purposive sampling. Respondents are
postgraduate students from Open University Malaysia (OUM). Analysis was done by
using SmartPLS. Findings indicate that hypothesis were supported.
