Causal Relationship Modeling Between General Self-Efficacy and Spiritual Intelligence and Goal Orientation of a Sample of University Students

The current research aims to establish the relationship between general self-efficacy and both of (spiritual intelligence- goal orientation), and to verify that there are differences between (general self- efficacy - spiritual intelligence- goal orientation) according to demographic variables: sex (male/female), specialization (scientific/literary), and domicile (rural/city), as well as Predicting general self-efficacy from spiritual intelligence and its dimensions, as well as general self-efficacy from goal orientation and its various dimensions, and verifying the possibility of mediating spiritual intelligence the relationship between goal orientation and general self-efficacy, There were (169) students from Zagazig University; The goal is to calculate the reliability and validity of the research tools, which are the "General Self-Efficacy Scale, Spiritual Intelligence scale, Goal Orientation Scale". The final sample was (640) students from Zagazig University, who were selected randomly; to verify research hypotheses, the statistical methods used were the Pearson^’s correlation coefficient, the (t) test, the analysis of multiple Regression, and simple Mediation analysis, The most important results indicated that there is a positive correlation between general self-efficacy and spiritual intelligence in all its dimensions and overall score, and goal orientation in all its dimensions and overall score. There are significant differences in (critical existential thinking) as a dimension of spiritual intelligence for the students of the (scientific) specialization, we can predict the general self-efficacy from three dimensions of spiritual intelligence, and from various dimensions of goal orientation, Finally, spiritual intelligence mediates the relationship between goal orientation and general self-efficacy.
