Student employment is a common co-curricular activity among undergraduate students. Previous studies have primarily focused on the impact of employment on academic outcomes and post-graduation labor market success. Although there is an assumption that on-campus student employment influences leadership learning, there is a lack of research directly…

Most social challenges fall outside of the authority of any single individual and therefore require collective action-coordinated efforts by many stakeholders to implement solutions. Despite growing interest in teaching students to lead collective action, we lack models for how to teach these skills. Collective action ostensibly involves design:…

Leadership is necessary for organizational effectiveness (Kroeck et al., 2004), a finding that applies to student organizations at institutions of higher education (Plante, 2016; Posner, 2012). However, student leaders of campus organizations face nuanced and significant challenges (Foubert & Urbanski, 2006; Plante, 2016). Therefore, we sought…

In this article, we compare the peculiarities of emergency remote teaching (ERT) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic with in-person and traditional online teaching. A literature review precedes an empirical case study performed by the lead author during his experiences with ERT. The aim of the study was to create a classroom focused on student…

Purpose: Building upon a larger mixed-methods research agenda, the purpose of this research study was to explore the growth of generativity (i.e. care for the next generation) among college student leaders who mentor, answering the central question "What changes in generativity do college student leaders who mentor associate with their…

This study aimed to explore the motivational factors influencing the development of environmental leadership qualities among students in higher educational institutions (HEIs).

The percentage of women receiving bachelor's degrees in physics (25%) in the U.S. lags well behind that of men, and women leave the major at higher rates. Achieving equity in physics will mean that women stay in physics at the same rates as men, but this will require changes in the culture and support structures. A strong sense of belonging can…

This writing draws on an ongoing narrative inquiry with 10 Indigenous youth as they negotiated their lives within a high school leadership pathway. Our research demonstrates the need to resist starting in concepts as an intentional shift to being and becoming wakeful to storied lives on and off school landscapes. Three resonant threads are…

Leadership development experiences have long been touted as necessary and positive for promoting the practice of effective leadership. Yet, little has been presented about the effectiveness of leadership development programs sponsored, designed, and implemented by membership-based organizations, like fraternities and sororities. This study…

Programme Leaders (PLs) in Higher Education (HE) hold a complex role that has responsibilities that link to external performance metrics. This role, existing outside of the traditional teaching/research view means it often lacks visibility and esteem (MacFarlane, 2007). How this influences role-holders' understanding of the role, and how they can…

Since South Africa's first democratic election in 1994, the student leadership profile has changed dramatically at historically white universities (HWUs).

Leadership research show that important leadership antecedents such as leadership selfefficacy and motivation to lead have a significant impact on the development of leadership behaviors of individuals. This study investigated the associations between leadership selfefficacy, motivation to lead and leadership practices that influence the…

This phenomenological qualitative study explored the ways undergraduate student leaders engaged in the enlightenment narrative.

Participants engaged in frontstage performances of inclusion by "saying the right thing" to maintain ownership of their…

The re-emergence of student activism on college campuses in the U.S. has provoked questions about its educative function in higher education. Analysed through the lens of Kolb's experiential learning theory cycle, individual interviews with self-identifying student activists from across the U.S. reveal that activism engages students in learning…
