HBCU Student Characteristics and Experiences Influencing and Predicting Socially Responsible Leadership Behavior
Martin, Dwight D.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Tennessee State University
The purpose of this study was to assess the level of student socially responsible leadership behavior (SRLB) within one urban Historically Black College/University (HBCU) through the lens of the "Social Change Model" of leadership development of college students. A secondary purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of student involvement in collegiate leadership experiences--on levels of SRLB--Individual, Group, Community, and Overall. Finally, contextual variables (i.e., gender, parents' educational level, etc.) were examined to assess if these demographic factors had any impact on level of SRLB. This study was guided by the principles referenced as the "Social Change Model" (SCM). This theory of social change has at its core both aspects of leadership development and leadership process as they relate to the college student. The instrument utilized in this study was the "Socially Responsible Leadership Scale" (SRLS) (Dugan 2006). The target population was undergraduate students at HBCUs in the Southeast; a sample of 101 students from one HBCU in the Southeast was selected. Among the major findings of this study included: (a) when compared to the Multi-Institutional Study (MSL) (Dugan, et al, 2007), this study revealed leadership capacity to be fairly consistent with the national study; (b) Individual Socially Responsible Leadership Behavior (SRLB) and Community Service showed a slight negative statistically significant relationship; (c) Group SRLB capacity and Faculty Mentor Experience showed a slight negative statistically significant relationship; and, (d) none of the contextual factors had any statistically significant correlation with Individual, Group, Community, or Overall SRLB.
