Abstract

This study investigates how civic action attitudes, academic mastery climate, and community service mastery climate jointly predict academic and community-service self-efficacy among vocational college students in China (N = 863). Hierarchical regression analyses indicate that civic action attitudes strongly and positively predict both academic and community service self-efficacy. Academic mastery climate and community service mastery climate each positively predict academic self-efficacy; community service mastery climate additionally predicts community service self-efficacy. Importantly, civic attitudes remain a robust predictor after mastery climates are introduced. The results suggest that deliberately structured mastery climates in community service act as an important bridge from real-world civic engagement to greater academic confidence, with implications for integrating service-learning and mastery-oriented pedagogy in vocational education.
