Background: Self-Efficacy, Social Support, and Achievement Motivation are needed to support archery athlete’s performance, which impacts their achievement. Aim: This research aims at analyzing the effect of Self-efficacy, Social Support and Achievement Motivation on the Performance of Archery Athletes. Method: This research is descriptive-correlational with analysis of research data using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach using the smart PLS application. Participants: the sample for this research is 220, consisting of 135 male and 115 female archers, with an average age of 16 to 21 years, and previously they will take part in the 2023 Pre-PON qualifying round. First, researchers divided each variable, namely, Self-Efficacy variable into four items (Sport Discipline, Psychology, Professional Thought, Personality), Social Support into three items (Environment, Friends, Family), Achievement Motivation into two items (Intrinsic, Extrinsic), and Archery Athlete’s Performance into three items (Discipline, Intensity, Ability) measured with 5-point Likert scale for each item. Self-Efficacy has a positive and significant effect on the Performance of Archery Athletes, with a p-value score of 0.000, less than 0.05. The Social Support relationship positively and significantly affects the Performance of Archery Athletes, with a p-value score of 0.000, less than 0.05. Moreover, Motivation positively and significantly affects Archery Athletes’ Performance. From the results of this study, it is expected that it can be a reference for sports practitioners, owners of academics or sports clubs, coaches, and athletes so that they can take into account Self-Efficacy, Social Support, and Achievement Motivation to improve the performance of archery athletes who will maximize the achievement of an athlete.
