ABSTRACT
This research study examines the influence of academic intervention and communication,
general self-efficacy and social activity on academic motivation via predictors of academic
success in a historically black college and university – Business School in the south east United
States. The role of the newly developed academic intervention and communication construct is
studied in this research. The managerial implications from this research help educators of
minority institutions and students around the world to understand the important role of academic
intervention and communication. Student’s academic success is found to play mediating role in
the relationship between student’s academic motivation and three independent factors: general
self-efficacy, social activity, and academic intervention and communication. The authors find that
general self-efficacy and intervention does not only play a direct role on academic motivation, but
play a significant positive mediating role via academic success.
