This study examines how parental economic level and parental expectancy influence santri self-efficacy through motivation, and how self-efficacy subsequently affects self-transformational outcomes among santri in Islamic boarding schools. While previous studies have largely focused on academic achievement or motivation as final outcomes, this research introduces self-transformational santri as an impact variable, representing sustained personal growth and internal change. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design is proposed, involving santri from Islamic boarding schools in Jambi Province (Kota Jambi, Sarolangun, and Bungo). Data are analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings are expected to demonstrate that parental economic level and parental expectancy positively influence motivation and self-efficacy, while self-efficacy santri serves as a key antecedent of self-transformational outcomes. This study contributes a novel psychological pathway model relevant to Islamic education management and pesantren development.
