Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Chinese adults' motivation to participate in lifelong learning on subjective happiness through self-efficacy. In this study, 798 Chinese adult lifelong learners were surveyed and the SPSS 25.0 program was used for analysis. As a result of the study, first, it was found that the motivation of Chinese adult learners to participate in lifelong learning affects subjective happiness through self-efficacy. This means that learners with clear motivation to participate in lifelong learning and learners with high self-efficacy have higher subjective happiness in lifelong education activities. Second, as a result of structural model analysis, the motivation to participate in lifelong learning had a positive effect on self-efficacy and subjective happiness. Through this, it can be seen that participation motivation is an important factor in fully expressing self-efficacy when adults participate in lifelong education activities. Third, it showed a mediating effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between motivation to participate in lifelong education and subjective happiness. Efforts were needed to improve self-efficacy as well as motivation for participation in order to improve the subjective happiness of adult lifelong learners. This study is meaningful in that it revealed the important factors of self-efficacy as well as the importance of motivation to participate in lifelong learning in the subjective happiness of Chinese adult learners.
