| Abstract: | This study discusses the relationship between students’ beliefs about hard work, ability, effort, context, luck, chance, powerful others, school engagement, future work success and future life success. The study investigated the relationship among these variables for 133 boys and girls. The students reported their beliefs about each variable. Pearson correlations assessed the interrelationship of the variables. Multiple regression analyses assessed the relationship of the variables to future work success and future life success. Hard work was the only measure significantly related to future work success and future life success. Unexpectedly, neither future work. success nor future life success were related to school engagement. |
