Abstract
The occurrence of coronavirus disease also known as COVID-19, has become a global pandemic since March 2020. According to UNESCO, schools are closed in more than 100 countries due to a public health emergency, including Pakistan. The study is designed for the investigation of E-Leadership on student engagement and satisfaction in online learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic in the private schools of Lahore, Pakistan. This study has been carried out to find out the effects of online education on student engagement during school lockdown when traditional face-to-face learning could not happen for a very long period of time. Such uncertainty and emergency situation has left us all into a sudden shift of online education and to embrace technology that has been never into the practice in a developing country like Pakistan. This study has been steered through a survey design by collecting data in 2020-21 using a questionnaire by taking the sample of 48 schools which further characterized into 950 respondents (students) of O-level/ Matriculation and 48 school leaders/ principals. For verifying the hypothesis, Pearson correlation analysis method and regression analysis was used along with Andrew Hayes Model 1 and Model 4 to access the role of E-Leadership both as a Mediator and Moderator. The study results proved that E-Leadership plays a vital role for ensuring the engagement of the students in online education during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
