Survey results were analyzed by structural equation modelling. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <b> <span style="font-size:8pt;">Findings- </span> </b> <span style="font-size:8pt;">As a result of the research, all hypothesized effects in the proposed model, a positive effect of university image on both positive emotions, and student satisfaction, a negative effect of it on negative emotions, a positive effect of positive emotions on student satisfaction, a negative effect of negative emotions on student satisfaction, and a positive effect of student satisfaction on student engagement with the university, were supported. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> <b> <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">Conclusion- </span> </b> <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">Emotions and satisfaction have the great importance in the emergence of student engagement with the university. Handling university image as a starting point in the study with the prediction that the university image is also important for students’ engagement behavior is supported by significant results. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Suat TEKER}
