On‐campus student employment as a form of leadership development

Abstract

AbstractStudent 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 exploring this topic. Therefore, this study explores how on‐campus student employment influences leadership capacity development in undergraduate students who worked in a department in Student Affairs. Findings suggest that on‐campus student employment influenced leadership capacity development in undergraduate students.
