The impact of parents on academic achievement has been discussed for many years; however, less interest has been shown in whether their involvement in education influences students’ academic motivation. This study attempted to determine the overall impact of parental involvement on the academic motivation of students. The analysis was conducted by using data from 256 correlational values drawn from 37 studies involving 45,428 students. A meta-analysis was performed through the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Program. In the analysis process, the standardized mean difference, based on the random effect model, was employed as a measure of the mean effect size, and the Q statistic was used to assess the significance of the moderator variables. This study demonstrated that parental involvement exerted a small but significant overall impact on students’ academic motivation. Additionally the gender of the parents, country, school level and year of analyzed studies were identified as significant moderators in this relationship.
