BERNABE, Miguel; LISBONA, Ana; PALACI, Francisco José e MARTIN-ARAGON, Maite. Social identity and engagement: an exploratory study at university. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.2, pp.103-107. ISSN 2174-0534. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rpto.2016.02.003.
Within the framework of research on students' active performance in their study habits, the aim of this study is to analyze a model predicting the effect of social identity and personal initiative on engagement in university students. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 266 students from different Spanish universities. The resulting data were analyzed using SPSS Macro MEDIATE. Evidence was found for the proposed model. Only group-identity predicted personal initiative and engagement. Analysis revealed the mediating role of proactive behavior on engagement in university students. It is concluded that the university management may intervene, from an organizational-culture approach, promoting guidelines to reinforce students' sense of belonging by enhancing initiative and autonomous problem solving in learning behaviors.
