Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship among social justice leadership, student engagement and academic achievement within the context of refugee students in Türkiye. The study also aims at analyzing the mediating role of student engagement in the relationship between social justice leadership and academic achievement. The participants of the study include a total of 3483 refugee students from schools located in 12 regions in Turkish Statistical Regions Level 1. We used the mediation analysis of bootstrapping in order to test the model we had developed. The current study findings show that social justice leadership has a statistically significant positive direct effect on student engagement, while student engagement has a statistically significant positive direct effect on refugee students’ academic achievement. The findings also reveal that social justice leadership has an indirect effect on refugee students’ academic achievement with the mediating role of student engagement. Relying on the study findings, we present some suggestions for further studies.

社会正义领导能成为难民学生学业成就的“万灵药”吗？来自 rkiye的证据

本研究的目的在于探讨 rkiye难民学生的社会正义领导、学生参与和学业成就之间的关系。本研究亦旨在分析学生投入在社会公正领导与学业成就关系中的中介作用。这项研究的参与者包括来自土耳其第一级统计区12个地区的学校的3483名难民学生。为了检验我们开发的模型，我们使用了自举的中介分析。目前的研究结果表明，社会正义领导对学生投入有统计学显著的正向直接影响，而学生投入对难民学生的学业成绩有统计学显著的正向直接影响。研究结果还显示，社会正义领导对难民学生学业成绩有间接影响，并以学生参与为中介作用。根据研究结果，提出了进一步研究的建议。
