An Analysis On Student Leadership Behaviour: A Higher Education Institutional Perspective

This study examines the relationships between leadership character, competencies and commitment on student leadership behaviour. A regression analysis is used to examine the relation among selected variables. The study was conducted among final year business school students in a university in Malaysia who are conducting their final year managerial projects. The results showed that leader‘s character, competencies and commitment are significantly influenced on strong leadership behaviour outcomes. This study contributes to the dynamics of the causative relations between the selected variables, as well as highlights the importance of delivering strong leadership behaviour among university students for their future careers in the government or private organizations.
