“…Treating one's classmates as colleagues helps organizations overcome traditional employment processes and develop their identity as a leader, preparing themselves to be a professional one (Gott, Bauer, & Long, 2019). Creation of a transformative environment facilitates students' learning, helping them mature as adults with high level of leadership (Dempster & Lizzio, 2007;Rosch & Collins, 2017). This is why it is highly necessary to study leadership at an educational age, especially in university.…”

“…For the involvement behavior of student organizations, active cognition is most influential, followed by personal interest. With a deeper understanding of and being more interested in the organizations, the respondents are more likely to join [25]. Lack of information hinders students from joining organizations, while information acquisition can change their priori probability so that they can make a better decision [61].…”

“…Brennan [19] also indicated that universities should enable undergraduates to acquire the sustainable competences at the personal level. For instance, an emphasis should be given to the leadership capacity of students [20,23,25,45]. Thus, unclear promotion mechanisms may lead to the loss of talented organization managers, which hinders the achievement of organizational goals and the advancement of organizational core competence.…”

Student organization is considered an important approach for the sustainable development of ideological and political education, and it helps construct learning style and campus culture. This research studies college students’ motivations for their involvement and exit behaviors. Using a binary choice model, we analyze critical factors affecting the involvement and exit behaviors of college students based on social cognition theory, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and expectancy theory. On the one hand, our results show active cognition is most influential for the involvement behavior, followed by personal interest. Meanwhile, active cognition is positively affected by mother’s higher education level and senior students’ influence. Respondents who agree that joining organizations brings closer relations with teachers and other students as well as promoting heterosexual communication are more likely to join. On the other hand, the most influential factor for the exit behavior is unclear promotion mechanisms. Low-quality activities and wasting time with organizations cause students to quit. Moreover, lack of training opportunities and professional guidance dampens members’ enthusiasm. Complicated interpersonal relations, bureaucratic style, entering a higher grade and changing psychology cause some members to quit and further affect organizational learning. We provide additional insights on management strategies towards organization sustainability, such as improving leader selection and building harmonious interpersonal relations.

We examined the relationship between high school and collegiate organizational involvement and their differential and collective effects on the development of leader selfefficacy, motivation to lead and leadership skill. Our goal was to better understand how the student leader development process unfolds at different points in time over young adulthood. The study investigated members of registered student organizations (n=757) during the Fall 2016 semester. Results of the study indicated strong developmental relationships between past high school involvement, current collegiate involvement and leader capacity change. Positional leadership and students' priority placed on their involvement during high school were predictive of leader skill and self-efficacy, while in college, only mental and physical engagement in organizations predicted leader development.
