Abstract
This study investigates leadership of the college students in Guangxi public universities through three main research objectives: 1) to study the effects of organizational factors on college students’ leadership development; 2) to analyze the mediating relationships between organizational factors and the leadership development of Guangxi college students; and 3) to explain the approaches of Guangxi higher education institutions on college students’ leadership development.
Population of the study are students from 10 public higher education institutions in Nanning, Guangxi Autonomous Region. The samples consisted of 387 students of freshmen year to senior year. Partial least squares structural equation model was used for data analysis, including confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis and multi-mediation analysis, all to test research hypotheses on the established framework.
The research findings are summarized as follow: 1) transformational leadership in higher education institutions among students had positive effect on collectivism, individualism, and self-efficacy, but had no positive effect on affective commitment and student loyalty; 2) the collectivism, individualism, and self-efficacy mediated the relationship between transformational leadership, affective commitment, and student loyalty; and 3) utilized the empirical approaches which analyzed the pathway of collectivism, individualism, and self-efficacy multiple mediation, especially the mediating effect of individualism in this process. Based on the result of the study, transformational leadership theory is useful for comprehending Chinese collectivism culture and individualism culture through the case of student loyalty to their educational institutions. Nevertheless, the relationships between transformational leadership and college students’ attitudes and behavior were being mediated by organizational factors as noticeable in results of this research.
