Aims: The present study investigated the need for progress and responsibility based on students' perceptions of competence, resilience and innovation. Method: The present study is applied and in terms of method is a correlational research. The statistical population of this study included 987 male and female students of Islamic Azad University, Gachsaran Branch and the sample consisted of 350 people who were selected by random cluster sampling. The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis. Research tools included the Hermans Progress Motivation Questionnaire (1977), the California Accountability Scale (1987), the Harter Competence Perception Scale (1985), the Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), and the Cloninger (1994) Nature and Character Questionnaire.

Also, perception of competence, innovation and resilience have a direct and significant relationship with the variable of responsibility. Perception of competence and innovation can significantly predict the need for academic achievement at the level (p< 0/001). Resilience can not significantly predict the need for academic achievement. Perception of competence and resilience can not predict the level of responsibility and innovation can predict the level of responsibility significantly at the level (p< 0/001). Conclusions: It can be said that the perception of competence and innovation as part of personality traits have the power to predict the habits, behaviors or performance of people in different situations.
