The aim of study is to investigate the most important antecedents and consequences of academic self - efficacy among students of Tehran. The population was students of universities of Tehran that 480 students were selected from the universities of Allameh Tabataba’i, Amirkabir, Tarbiat Modarres and Tehran through Voluntary sampling. The tools was included the short form of NEO-Personality inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992), scale of perceived social support (Zimet & et al., 1988), Academic motivation scale (Harter, 1980), academic self - efficacy scale (Jinks & Morgan, 1999) and academic self - concept scale (Delavar, 1372). The data analyzed by using structural equations modeling. The findings support the hypothesized structural relationships that social support, academic self - concept and personality traits could directly affect academic self - efficacy and could indirectly affect academic performance and academic motivation. Also academic self - efficacy could directly affect academic performance and academic motivation. With increasing independent variables and their Components Except the neuroticism, the academic self - efficacy and dependent variables increased.
