“…Being a student leader may provide useful social ties to high-ability students, which can strengthen and expand their social networks in the school-to-work transition phase (Baert and Verhaest, 2018;Kramarz and Skans, 2014). This is in parallel with the contemporary understanding of leadership, which emphasises creating social capital and leaders building relations with their environments (Fiedler, 1996;Rasmussen and Hansen, 2018), rather than the idea of leadership based on personal qualities that restrict leadership with individuals and their abilities. In this sense, student leaders come into contact with highlevel decision-makers as well as peers inside and outside the university to help them find higher paying jobs to match with their qualities more quickly (Kramarz and Skans, 2014;Li et al, 2010;Lundin et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThe authors explored the effect of college student leader experience on students' employment prospects, such as their starting salary. The authors also examined the factors behind being a student leader and the set of skills that foster the effect of leadership experience.Design/methodology/approachUsing an empirical panel survey, the authors collected data from 3,361 undergraduate students over five consecutive years in China, which were analysed using different econometric methods.FindingsThe starting salary premium associated with student leaders' experiences was approximately 7%. Individual learning, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills were mediating variables that replaced half of the wage premium effect of the student leader. Family background and types of educational experiences were associated with being a student leader and labour market outcomes.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors only explored a few leadership-related employability skills; other relevant skills require consideration.Practical implicationsThis study informs students, parents, and higher education institutions (HEIs) by clarifying the importance of leadership development. An effective transition from higher education to the labour market should be emphasised.Social implicationsHigher education educators should provide guidance to student organisations and promote formal and informal student leadership education to all students.Originality/valueThe authors revealed some factors that promote student leadership and how they are associated with labour market outcomes in China. The authors also verified and validated the capital improvement channel for some specific leadership-related skills to explain the effect of student leader experience on employment outcomes.

“…Researchers believe that leadership concepts and practices can be taught to most individuals to enhance their leadership effectiveness (Doh, 2003). Rasmussen and Hansen (2016) further highlighted the importance of acquiring skills and competencies that allow academics to develop as leaders as well as researchers. Surveys by the UK's Leadership Foundation for Higher Education (LFHE) (2015; 2016) found that over 90% of traditional HE institutions supported their staff in delivering leadership development to over 3,400 individuals.…”

Academic excellence is brought about by effective leadership, which may encompass the concept of distributed leadership, which signifies a collective engagement. However, leadership positions within higher education are frequently filled with scholars lacking leadership skills and experience, which can be detrimental both to their performance and well-being. To address this, we explored via interviews with academic leaders how academic leadership is defined and conceptualised and what their developmental needs are. Participants ( N = 23) came from junior, middle and senior management levels. Findings suggest that their notions of leadership as well as any developmental needs/activities perceived useful, differ according to their leadership level. Although junior leaders were more concerned with procedural elements of leading, senior leaders focused on mentoring, social expectations and knowledge of academia. These findings have important implications for a wider theoretical conceptualisation of academic leadership, which are typically focused on individual senior leaders. Further, our findings inform leadership development programmes, as universities’ dealings with academic leaders tend not to consider the differing requirements of junior, middle and senior academic leaders.
