Abstract
This study is to analyse the impact of student leadership and citizenship on the process of democratisation in Islamic universities in Malaysia. The necessity to comprehend the complex character of student leadership, particularly its manifestation at Islamic universities, is underscored by the global reports on this matter. Inquiries regarding citizenship and democracy present difficulties, highlighting the intricate nature of the issue. The intricacies of how leadership is seen, its influence on results, and the promotion of engaged citizenship introduce further complexities. It is essential to comprehend the correlation between leadership, citizenship, and outcomes, while also considering the ethical aspects. This study examines the concepts of student leadership, citizenship, and democratisation within a specific setting. It utilises a survey that includes 593 individuals randomly selected from three institutions in Malaysia. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS, which involved performing descriptive, correlation, reliability, and regression analyses. These studies yielded useful insights into the relationships between variables. Ultimately, this study investigates the concepts of student leadership, citizenship, and democratisation within the specific environment under examination. By employing a survey design that incorporates a substantial sample size, the methodology guarantees reliable and strong conclusions. Descriptive data demonstrate favourable attitudes, whereas regression analysis highlights the substantial impact of citizenship and student leadership on predicting democratisation. The internal consistency is enhanced by a high level of reliability. These insights emphasise the significance of citizenship in influencing the process of democratisation, providing vital direction for educators to foster active and democratic citizenship among students.
