“…Within the past 25 years, numerous scholars, citizens, and authors have reexamined the role of higher education in preparing an educated citizenry, tomorrow's leaders. Although no authors disagree with the role of the university in transferring highly specialized knowledge within the scope of academic and professional disciplines, several espouse the need to reexamine the relationship of such knowledge within the larger societal context (Bok, 1980;Boyer, 1987). Lynton and Elman (1987) suggest that "universities, in their teaching as well as in their other professional activities, relate theory to practice, basic research to its applications, and the acquisition of knowledge to its use" (p. 3).…”

This article explores leadership studies as a complementary and integrating discipline in undergraduate liberal education curricula. A significant historical purpose of liberal education was to liberate and prepare its graduates to be active and capable participants and leaders in social, economic, religious, and political realms. This historical purpose has become resurgent in recent critical examinations of liberal education. Some now argue that the undergraduate liberal education should return, in part, to preparing citizens for leadership responsibilities necessary to strengthen our communities, nation, and democratic institutions. There appears to be a symbiotic relationship between liberal education and leadership studies. The knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for effective leadership appear to be closely aligned with the desired learning outcomes of a liberal arts education, regardless of major. This article concludes that leadership studies may be an important and beneficial component of undergraduate liberal education curricula.

“…Historically, character development has been an important outcome of higher education (Boyer 1987;Berkowitz and Fekula, 1999;Dalton et al, 2004;Johnson et al, 2010). It's crucial for society to have well-educated individuals, capable of both pursuing their own interests while also being willing to fulfill their social and civic responsibilities.…”

“…It's crucial for society to have well-educated individuals, capable of both pursuing their own interests while also being willing to fulfill their social and civic responsibilities. Furthermore, the essential qualities of mind and character are refined, perhaps more than any other time, during the higher education period (Boyer 1987). Success and quality in education are determined not only by academic achievement but also by the entire process of cultivating thought, ethos, communication, and the essential interaction through which the personality is developed and the essential human values and principles are cultivated.…”

“…This circle entails parental influence and cohort group influence. Many studies argue that the influence of parents is the strongest (Boyer, 1987;Donnellan, 2002). Most students look up to their parents before making enrollment decisions (Schuster et al, 1989).…”

PurposeThis study attempts to elucidate the role of key influencers impacting the student decision-making process of enrollment for higher education in India from the lenses of Stephen Covey's theory on circles of life.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 556 students of Delhi NCR, India was selected based on a multi-staged sampling method. PLS-SEM was subsequently applied for statistical data analysis.FindingsThis quantitative finding voiced the relationships among the constructs in the proposed theoretical framework, i.e. Stephen Covey's circle of life theory. Additionally, it tinted the crucial role of “College attributes” in reconnoitering the relationship dynamics between key influencers (Circle of Influence and Circle of Concern) and student college choice (Circle of Control).Research limitations/implicationsThe present study incorporates only the first-year student population of undergraduate management courses in private universities from Delhi NCR, India limiting the generalization of findings substantially.Practical implicationsThe study garners the attention of education policymakers on the cognizance of the role played by parents and cohorts in driving the student's decision-making process of college choice under the circle of influence.Originality/valueThis study is pioneering research disseminating a comprehensive outlook of the circle of life theory of great Stephen Covey engrained upon a compendious conceptual model which enlightens the landscape of the decision-making process of student on enrollment under the influence of key influencers.
