Let Rbeanarbitraryringwithidentity and M aright R-module with S =EndR(M). Following [8],the module M is called Rickart if for any f 2 S, rM(f) = eM for some e2 = e 2 S, equivalently, Kerf is a direct summandofM. Inthispaper,wecontinuetoinvestigatepropertiesofRickart modules. For a Rickart module M, we prove that M is S-rigid (resp., S- reduced, S-symmetric, S-semicommutative, S-Armendariz) if and only if its endomorphism ring S is rigid (resp., reduced, symmetric, semicommutative, Armendariz). We also prove that if M[x]is a Rickart module with respect to S[x], then M is Rickart, the converse holds if M is S-Armendariz. Among others it is also shown that M is a Rickart module if and only if every right R-module is M-principally projective.
