Session: Poster Session 2
Room: Orion Hall (5F)
Presentation Type: Poster Presentation
The aim of the current study was to examine the role of university administration in developing student leadership skills at Kuwait University, as well as to investigate differences in students’ responses according to academic year. A descriptive analytical survey design was employed using a questionnaire administered to a random sample of 357 male and female students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the overall level of administrative practices, and inferential statistical techniques (analysis of variance) to examine differences attributable to academic year. The findings indicated that the role of university administration in developing student leadership skills at Kuwait University was at a moderate level. The results also revealed statistically significant differences in students’ responses based on academic year, with higher mean scores reported by first-year students. Based on these findings, the study recommended the adoption of a comprehensive policy for managing student leadership talent, encompassing recruitment, training, and empowerment, and aligning such initiatives with the university’s strategic plans to promote innovation and sustainable student participation.
