Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article includes theoretical and empirical evidence suggesting that Service-Learning (SL) experiences are conducive for the development of two critical dimensions of positive leaders; emotional intelligence and ethical leadership. SL promotes leadership development experiences by providing ‘crucible’ learning moments to students, thereby supporting arguments for the adoption of SL androgogy in Management Education. The impact of multiple SL experiences is also examined, with research results confirming a continuum of SL influence whereby the greater the exposure to SL by undergraduate students the greater the leadership development. BACKGROUND The pressure on educational institutions to demonstrate the effectiveness of their teaching methodologies in the development of socially aware leaders has heightened due environmental management failures and the perceived lack of ethical business practices by business graduates (Waldman & Siegel, 2008). Business schools and their graduates have become targets for criticism as the ethical lapses of senior executives to major scandals and the economic meltdown. Reflection is required by education leaders regarding management education and the integration and pedagogy of ethical reasoning and comprehension (Cavico & Mujtabd, 2009). Academics such as Weick (2008) are asking the fundamental question “How can the concepts, tools, and techniques we teach be used to invent a better future?” (p. 96). While there is no blanket solution to educational challenges, the practice of ServiceLearning (SL) (Godfrey & Grasso, 2000, Kenworthy-Uren, 2008)) has gained credibility, and provides a viable teaching tool in for not only enhanced cognitive abilities but also the development of citizenship behaviors. In this paper a summary of SL is provided leading into an overview of current research based on the relationships between SL and leadership development, followed by the illustration of SL practices within the context of a Leadership Development course at Mount Royal University in Canada. The impact of the SL experience upon the self-perception of the students exposed to SL pedagogy is empirically tested. The development of the students leadership attributes are evaluated as a consequence of SL experiences by examining the self-assessment of such students regarding their emotional intelligence and ethical leadership. The limitations for this small study are then reviewed, and implications for educators discussed.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
