In the study, it is aimed to determine the effect of self-esteem of logistics students on their life satisfaction and academic achievement and to determine the moderator role of gender in this effect. To this end, data are collected from 278 associate degree students studying at the Department of Logistics through an online questionnaire. In the study, the self-esteem scale, which is one of the sub-dimensions of the “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale” developed by Rosenberg (1963), the "Life Satisfaction Scale" developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffen (1985), and the students' general grade point averages are used to measure academic performance. As the results of the correlation analysis, it is determined that there are positive and significant relationships between students' self-esteem, life satisfaction and academic achievement. According to the results of the structural equation model established within the framework of the model created, it is revealed that students' self-esteem has a positive effect on their life satisfaction and academic achievement. In addition, it is determined that gender has a moderator role in the relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction. The results obtained are discussed in the light of the findings obtained from previous studies.
