The Empirical Study of Extracurricular Activity on Socially Responsible Leadership
Kim, Juhee
Journal of Leadership Education, v21 n1 Jan 2022
This study examines how extracurricular activity experiences affect students' leadership development outcomes. Students' leadership development outcomes are analyzed depend on general characteristics and collegiate/pre-collegiate experiences of extracurricular activities. The correlation to the individual, group, and community values of leadership development was analyzed. The study utilized the Social Change Model and Socially Responsible Leadership Scale (SRLS-R2). Data was analyzed from college students (N=706) using quantitative methodology. The results indicated students who participated in extracurricular activities while in college and high school scored relatively higher in each individual, group, and community value (p<0.05). Gender and class level were significantly associated with student leadership development. Specifically, women had relatively higher leadership development than men in congruence, commitment, and citizenship. Also, senior students scored higher than sophomores in individual and community values, showing significant differences. This study guides educational leaders to amplify student participation opportunities that positively affect their leadership development. Educators should consider multifaceted approaches to enhance students' leadership and a substantively deeper understanding of the latent benefits and patterns of student involvement in extracurricular activities.
