Personal and institutional factors as determinants of civic engagement among university students
The study found that institutional efficacy and student control significantly influence advocacy, direct action, and organizational participation that define civic engagement, thus supporting the existing civic engagement model. The study extended the civic engagement model to incorporate mediation effects and investigated it in a specific cultural setting, which can be very useful for educators, lawmakers, and community organizers.
