Abstract
In this study, we look at the connection between charismatic leadership and students’ ability to learn in a university setting, specifically at the mediating function of student engagement. This research examines how charismatic leaders motivate their students to achieve academic excellence by creating an environment of engagement and commitment, using theoretical frameworks from organizational psychology and educational leadership. The research takes a quantitative tack by analysing survey responses from a cross-section of undergraduates majoring in different fields. A survey will be administered to students in Libya to collect the data. It is challenging to create focused interventions to improve academic outcomes due to the lack of data showing how student engagement may mediate this relationship. Leadership development programs can be better designed and implemented to maximize student outcomes if we better understand how charismatic leadership impacts student engagement, which impacts learning performance. This study can help educational leaders create more engaging and successful learning environments by outlining how charismatic leadership affects student outcomes. Examining how student engagement mediates the connection between charismatic leadership and academic achievement is the overarching goal of this study. This study examines the relationship between charismatic leadership and student performance in the classroom by using rigorous quantitative methods to determine how much student engagement moderates this relationship.
