Full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of student organization membership on the development of leadership practices among traditional-aged undergraduate students. Specifically, the influence academic-related student organizations have on the leadership development of its student officers and members. This quantitative study explored the transformational leadership behavior of student officers and members of academic-related student organizations at a large research I public university in the mid-west. The student version of the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) was utilized to provide self-reported assessments of the leadership practices of the student organization officers, student organization members, and of students not involved in student organizations.
Analysis was completed to determine the level of practice of the five leadership practices identified by the Student Leadership Practices Inventory and to compare these levels of practice between students involved in academic-related student organizations and students who were not involved in a student organization. The study documented a significant difference for all five leadership practices between students who served as academic student organization officers and students who were not involved in a student organization. The results for the comparison between students who were members of an academic student organization and students who were not involved in a student organization found no significant difference for all five leadership practices identified by the Student Leadership Practices Inventory.
Analysis was also completed to determine any differences in leadership practice based upon sex. The majority of these comparisons showed no significant difference. However, there was a significant difference between student organization officers and students not involved in a student organization. Female student organization officers self-reported higher scores in the practices of Inspire a Vision, Challenge the Process, and Enable Others to Act. Male student organization officers self-reported higher scores in the practices of Model the Way, Inspire a Vision, and Challenge the Process. There were no significant differences within study groups.

Full textLeadership development has been identified as a key college outcome (Komives, Dugan, Owen, Slack, & Wagner, 2011). Emotional intelligence as a leadership development framework has shown promise in many applications (Petrides, 2011). Able to be augmented through purposeful training and practice, high levels of emotional intelligence have been linked to job performance, healthy relationships, and emotional well-being (Joseph, Jin, Newman, & O’Boyle, 2014). This study focused on changes in emotional intelligence as a metric for personal and professional development through a state university’s leadership program. Students’ self-reported change in global and factor emotional intelligence were measured utilizing the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQue-SF) as a research tool (Zampetakis, 2011). Additionally, students completed a survey consisting of open-ended questions designed to facilitate the evaluation of student perceptions in relation to emotional intelligence competencies after completing the leadership program. No statistical differences could be observed in pre-and post-participation TEIQue-SF results. Student perceptions after program completion revealed participation impacted their perceptions of and approach to emotional intelligence competencies as well as leadership. Overall, students expressed a level of personal awareness and the ability to nurture relationships and seek leadership roles.
Wright, David W. "Student Leadership Development| How Do Liberal Arts Colleges Enhance Socially Responsible Leadership?" Thesis, The George Washington University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3557574.
Full textStudent leadership development is a key initiative at many colleges and universities in the United States today. Many of the liberal arts institutions in America have leadership development of their student population as one of the fundamental elements of their educational objectives (Astin, 1997; Durden, 2001; Rothblatt, 2003). This study utilized a qualitative, multiple-case study design to explore how two liberal arts institutions developed socially responsible leaders within their student population. An expert-driven, purposeful sampling strategy was utilized for this study. Using an interview and focus group protocol that was framed by the Social Change Model of Leadership (SCM), the researcher also used a documentation review to collect data. The findings were reported as two individual case studies, followed by a cross-case analysis looking for areas of convergence and divergence between the institutions. The SCM was an effective theoretical framework to determine how these liberal arts institutions develop socially responsible leaders. Each of the eight constructs from the SCM was addressed by the study's research question and subquestions. The findings from the study were consistent with the student learning and development analogous with the descriptions of the constructs from the theoretical framework. However, there were several influences on student leadership development that were underrepresented in the findings. Thus, the recommendations offered, along with other findings of the study, propose tactics for more thorough development of socially responsible leaders at liberal arts institutions.

Full textInstitutions of higher education are charged with academically and professionally preparing students to lead in the workforce. Specifically, little is known regarding how students develop their leadership identity throughout their undergraduate career. One significant leadership role that students hold is that of student government president. Student government has been a critical component of the landscape of higher education for centuries, yet little research has been conducted on the experiences of former presidents. Concurrently, although women earn more degrees than men in the United States, they are underrepresented in the role of student government president. This study examines the experiences of fourteen former, female student government presidents to understand how leadership identity develops. The leadership identity development theory was utilized as a framework to examine leadership development during and post-college. Through a feminist lens, gender was central to the study to uncover gender expectations and stereotypes. A qualitative, phenomenological design was used to capture the lived experiences and meanings created by the women. The women graduated from various types of institutions along the East Coast within a 15-year timespan. Derived from two semi-structured interviews, the findings indicate four themes: (a) prior involvement, (b) relationships matter, (c) navigating gender dynamics, and (d) the student government experience matters. The findings suggest that serving as student government president impacts leadership identity development during and post-college and is a valuable, meaningful experience. Interpretations are made from the findings and recommendations for future research are addressed, as well as practical implications for practice.

Full textPaid employment is one of the most common extracurricular activities among full-time undergraduates, and an array of studies has attempted to measure its impact. Methodological concerns with the extant literature, however, make it difficult to draw reliable conclusions. Furthermore, the research on working college students has little to say about relationships between employment and leadership development, a key student learning outcome. This study addressed these gaps in two ways, using a national sample of 77,489 students from the 2015 Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership. First, it employed quasi-experimental methods and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to investigate relationships between work variables (i.e., working status, work location, and hours worked) and both capacity and self-efficacy for leadership. Work location for students employed on-campus was disaggregated into 14 functional departments to allow for more nuanced analysis. Second, this study used text mining methods to examine the language that participants used to define leadership, which enabled a rich comparison between students’ conceptualizations and contemporary leadership theory. Results from HLM analysis suggested that working for pay is associated with lower self-reported leadership capacity, as defined by the social change model of leadership development, and that this relationship varies by workplace location and across institutional characteristics. The association between working status and self-efficacy for leadership was found to be practically non-significant, and hours worked per week were unrelated to either outcome. Results from text mining analysis suggested that most students conceptualize leadership using language that resonates with the industrial paradigm of leadership theory— leadership resides in a person with authority, who enacts specific behaviors and directs a group toward a goal. Disaggregated findings suggested that students who work off-campus consider leadership differently, using language consonant with contemporary, post-industrial scholarship—leadership is a dynamic, relational, non-coercive process that results in personal growth and positive change. In sum, the findings both echo and challenge aspects of existing research on leadership and working college students. Future research should explore off-campus work environments in greater detail, while practitioners and scholars who supervise students should aim to infuse post-industrial conceptualizations into on-campus work environments

Full textCreating a positive, engaging school culture is a goal of most school districts and school administrators (Clark, 2015). Many educators believe the most effective methods of instilling a positive school culture include school-wide systems of implementation (Gruenert & Whitaker, 2015). This qualitative study included an in-depth look at the perceptions of implementation teams from two counties in southwest Missouri on the impact of school-wide character development models on school culture, student behaviors, and student leadership skills. The study was also designed to determine the factors within a school that have the greatest impact on the implementation process. Interviews were conducted with focus groups to gather insight into the perceptions of teachers, administrators, and implementation leaders. After completion of all focus groups, it was evident many commonalities exist among the implementation teams across the varying buildings and districts. Most participants agreed their implemented character development model had a positive impact on school culture throughout the process. The impact associated with student behaviors and student leadership skills depended much more specifically on the goals associated with the school-wide systematic model. The study also resulted in data indicating factors that impact the implementation process are very similar to factors that impact any large-scale change initiative. The results of this study can provide insight for administrators and implementation leaders when considering the preparation and planning of systematic character development models.

Full textPurpose. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to understand the lived experiences of student leader employees in relation to retention through the lens of development via engagement at a small, non-profit private university in Southern California.
Methodology. This study used a phenomenological approach to understand the lived experiences of student employee leaders. The researcher interviewed ten full-time undergraduate student employees who had been working in their leadership role for at least one year. The students interviewed were juniors and seniors.
Findings. The student employee leaders reported building strong relationships with their supervisors and peers as a result of on-campus employment. Students reported that their place of employment was a safe place for them to be and that they enjoyed the convenience of flexible hours and financial stability. The student employee leaders in this study felt supported and connected due to the people they have encountered throughout their employment at the institution. The student employee leaders also faced challenges and growth through their experiences working on campus. Lastly, students learned skills through various training methods.
Conclusion. The student employee leaders in this study reported that their relationships with supervisors and students contributed to their decision to remain at the institution. The students interviewed in this study also felt that what they learned in their place of employment could have longer implications in applying what they are learning to their future careers.
Recommendations. It is essential for student employees on campus to gain valuable experiences while working during college to engage and develop students to prepare for the future. Universities should emphasize for students to work on campus to help them build transferable skills and engage students in meaningful work to make the best of their time while in college.
