Motivational persistence and self-esteem are important determinants of dropping out of school according to recent studies. Lack of motivation and low self-esteem can lead to academic failure and dropping out. A student's motivation is related to their beliefs about their own competence and can be affected by ongoing failures. Self-esteem also plays a major role in deciding to continue one's studies or not. While motivation and self-esteem influence each other, motivation seems to have a smaller impact on the decision to quit school.
