The influence of control-value theory on the satisfaction of literary translation competence among Iraqi students

Abstract

 This study depends on the Control-Value Theory (CVT) to examine the association between translation enjoyment, academic performance, and the use of translation techniques among Iraqi translation students. Moreover, it provides an overview of the most significant methods and strategies in literary translation. Research was conducted with a sample of 250 students involved. Surveys and interviews were used as data collection tools. Correlation analysis was employed to establish the relationships between translation pleasure, academic performance, and the use of translation methods. The outcomes indicate that maintaining and using the right organizational strategies is a crucial factor for translating analysis. This emphasizes the fact that the organization's processes and behaviors that explain enjoyment, in turn, lead to improved performance, highlighting the significance of these aspects in shaping the final level of expertise. The study concludes that pleasure-derived translations are a determining factor in students' grades and choice of techniques in literary translation. It calls for transforming organizational processes and behaviors to ensure employee satisfaction and improve process performance.
