Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between self motivation and research performance of postgraduates. The sample consists of 153 postgraduates who have been employed in technology-based enterprises. In this paper, SPSS26.0 is used for pre-data processing and Smart-PLS 4 to construct a PLS-SEM model about self-motivation and scientific research, and analyze the data. Smart-PLS is a model validation mainly oriented to causal predictive analysis, which is usually used in the case of high complexity but low theoretical information,it is in line with the investigation situation in this paper. In the paper the p-value is less than 0.05, so it can be considered the relationships between variables are significant.The research results indicate that achievement motivation and self-management shows a significant positive correlation with both scientific research as well as application and rewards. Self-growth shows a significant positive correlation with achievement motivation and self-management, in addition belief motivation shows a significant positive correlation with self-management. The research provides corresponding reference value for the selection of talents in technology-based enterprises, the cultivation of talents in schools, and the self-development of students.
