This study aims to identify the factors that influence students’ research attitude. The dependent variable is the students’ research attitude. Independent variables include individual, organizational, and teacher-related factors. The statistical population consists of all 215 fourth-year students of the Faculty of Education at Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University in 2024. According to the Krejcie and Morgan table, 132 students were selected for the statistical sample using simple random sampling with no imposed conditions. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS at both descriptive and inferential levels. The results show that individual, organizational, and teacher-related factors significantly affect research attitude. Regression analysis revealed that individual factors had the strongest influence, with an impact level of 91.8%.
