This study aims to analyze the structural relationships among environmental factors, personal factors, and behavioral factors in students reading motivation based on Social Cognitive Theory. A quantitative research design was employed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine both direct and indirect relationships among the variables. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to eleventh-grade students at SMA Yadika Bandar Lampung to measure environmental support, personal motivation, and reading behavior. The findings revealed that environmental factors significantly influenced personal factors and reading behavior, while personal factors played a mediating role in strengthening students reading behavior. These results provide practical implications for educators to create supportive learning environments and enhance students self-efficacy in order to improve reading motivation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context.

This study confirms the applicability of Social Cognitive Theory in explaining students reading motivation within the EFL context.The findings highlight the critical role of both Environmental and Personal Factors in shaping students reading behavior, with Personal Factors acting as a key mediator.Teachers are encouraged to integrate motivational support strategies alongside structured reading instruction to promote sustained engagement.

Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana karakteristik spesifik lingkungan belajar, seperti desain kelas atau penggunaan teknologi, memengaruhi motivasi membaca siswa. Selain itu, studi kualitatif dapat digunakan untuk memahami secara mendalam pengalaman dan persepsi siswa mengenai faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi motivasi mereka. Terakhir, penelitian intervensi dapat dirancang untuk menguji efektivitas strategi yang ditujukan untuk meningkatkan self-efficacy dan motivasi membaca siswa EFL, dengan mempertimbangkan perbedaan individu dan konteks budaya. Penelitian-penelitian ini akan memberikan pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang motivasi membaca dan membantu mengembangkan praktik pembelajaran yang lebih efektif untuk siswa EFL, sehingga meningkatkan kemampuan membaca mereka dan menumbuhkan kecintaan terhadap literatur.
