Research has focused on the concept of student involvement, others have

explored the various ways in which students become involved. This study looked at

the impact of high school and college involvement and their individual and collective

impacts on leader self-efficacy, leadership motivation, and leadership skills. Our aim

was to gain a better understanding of how student leader development develops at

different developmental stages over the course of young adulthood. This study was

conducted during Fall semester among registered student organizations.

The findings of the study revealed a significant connection between prior

engagement in high school, current engagement in college, and the growth of

leadership abilities. Specifically, it was observed that individuals who held positions

of leadership and displayed a preference for involvement during their high school

years were more likely to experience improvement in their leadership skills and self-

confidence. However, in the college setting, it was found that only active

participation, both physically and mentally, in various organizations and groups

predicted the development of leadership qualities. This suggests that being actively

involved in college organizations can have a positive impact on an individual's

leadership potential.
