• This study focuses on demotivating factors in the writing classes that utilize online essay evaluation services. To identify the main demotivating factors, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 353 first-year university students after they completed their one-year general English course. Contrary to the claims in previous literature on motivation, the results revealed that loss of self-efficacy and loss of intrinsic motivation have only slight correlation with students' actual devotion of efforts. The most significant external demotivating factor was the topics being uninteresting and the most significant internal factor was loss of enjoyment. This study also tackled the question raised by recent research on demotivation of whether demotivating factors are purely external. The questionnaire was designed to clarify the relationships between external and internal factors that adversely affect commitment to tasks, and it led us to conclude that demotivation should be investigated from the viewpoints of both internal and external factors.
