The Influence of Social Networking on Socially Responsible Leadership
Kusel, Michelle L.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Loyola University Chicago
This study advances the literature surrounding the interplay of social networking, socially responsible leadership, and social perspective-taking. The need to explore these connections are important; however, there remains a dearth of evidence from large scale studies (Ahlquist, 2017; Baek, et al., 2012). This study examined to what extent, if any, social networking influences college students' capacities for socially responsible leadership. More specifically: (1) To what extent, if any, does social networking frequency influence college students' capacities for socially responsible leadership?; (2) To what extent, if any, does social networking proficiency influence college students' capacities for socially responsible leadership?; (3) To what extent, if any, does social networking centrality influence college students' capacities for socially responsible leadership? This study also explored social perspective-taking as an intermediate outcome; and (4) To what extent, if any, does the inclusion of social perspective-taking as an intermediate outcome shape the influence of social networking on college students' capacities for socially responsible leadership? Results demonstrate that social networking provides a value-added, consistent, and statistically meaningful contribution to explain variance in college students' leadership outcomes. Additionally, post-hoc analyses determined that social networking remained meaningful in the context of high impact practices.
