The high number of non-enrolment students has affected retention rates in the Indonesia Open University. This study was aimed to explore contribution of self-motivation on student persistence in the Indonesia Open University by employing mixed methods approach. Student progress in this study refers to continuation of enrolment within four consecutive semesters. The design of sequential explanatory study was opted by obtaining the quantitative findings from surveying 153 students and then was followed by semi-structured interview with 13 purposefully selected participants. In the quantitative phase, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation had important contribution to student persistence. Meanwhile, the qualitative phase demonstrated that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation did not stand in conflict each other but co-exist together in influencing student persistence in the Open University context. This finding refined previous theory of self-motivation that extrinsic motivation could undermine learner‟s intrinsic motivation. In this study, quantitative and qualitative findings are integrated and interpreted by referring to previous empirical studies.
