It likely explores how these factors impact students’ motivation, participation and overall involvement in their academic. Findings revealed that students’ overall level of peer attachment was generally at very high level that means it was always manifested by the students, while the overall level of academic self-efficacy is also at very high level which means that it is always manifested and the overall level of engagement of students was generally at very high level which means that it is always manifested. On the other hand, the result revealed that the peer attachment and academic self-efficacy had positive, and significant relationship on the engagement of students, which indicates that the interactions from peers towards their beliefs and attitudes to achieve academic success, as well as belief in their ability to fulfill academic tasks may influence the way how they behave and engage academically.
