Abstract: A metacyclic group $H$ can be presented as $\langle α,β\mid α^{n}=1, \ β^{m}=α^{t}, \ βαβ^{-1}=α^{r}\rangle$ for some $n,m,t,r$. Each endomorphism $σ$ of $H$ is determined by $σ(α)=α^{x_{1}}β^{y_{1}}, σ(β)=α^{x_{2}}β^{y_{2}}$ for some integers $x_{1},x_{2},y_{1},y_{2}$. We give sufficient and necessary conditions on $x_{1},x_{2},y_{1},y_{2}$ for $σ$ to be an automorphism.
