“…Studies that deal with building leadership skills through service learning come to positive results. For example, in the context of teaching financial literacy, Sabbaghi et al [87] state that service learning may lead to a greater ability to foresee the likely outcome of situations (foresight). The same effects can be found, for example, in physician assistant education [88] and in nursing education [89].…”

Due to its growing practical relevance, sustainability entrepreneurship receives a high degree of academic attention. However, literature on how to educate sustainability entrepreneurs remains scarce. A promising didactical approach in this context is service learning. We ask if service learning is an effective way to educate sustainability entrepreneurs, and which framework conditions impact those educators. First, we draw on an established sustainable entrepreneurship capability framework and provide direct evidence from entrepreneurship educators about the effectiveness of service learning. Second, based on grounded theory, qualitative interviews with those educators reveal a framework composed of personal and institutional factors that they have to navigate when provide service learning. Our findings contribute to the interface of service learning and sustainability entrepreneurship by highlighting its effectiveness and the framework conditions for educators.

“…Servant leaders meet the psychological needs of their followers by empowering them and providing them with direction, emotional support, feedback, and resources (Chiniara & Bentein, 2016;Grant, 2013;Greenleaf, Beazley, Beggs, & Spears, 2003;Liden, Wayne, Zhao, & Henderson, 2008;Sabbaghi, Cavanagh, & Hipskind, 2013;Spears, 2010;Trompenaars & Voerman, 2010;van Dierendonck, 2011). Enlisting PORs as co-educators is consistent with the expectation that they should act as servant leaders for the interns.…”

This article is about a Hong Kong-based summer internship program designed to foster service leadership attributes through service-learning. We report research based on interviews with interns and their partner organization representatives (PORs) and on written assignments as required by the program. We also report how the research informed the redesigning of the program. The research identified factors that support service leadership emergence, including servant leadership by PORs; appropriate intern responsibilities; support from other stakeholders; and interns' possession of a secure knowledge foundation. Conservation of resources (COR) theory underpins our explanation of how these factors enhance service leadership emergence, while self-determination theory (SDT) also explains the impact of servant leadership by PORs. We conclude by explaining the subsequent actions that have been taken to leverage the supportive factors.

“…Applying SL in this field of knowledge complements the business education received by students, while also enhancing their curricular learning, professional development, civil training and social commitment and, therefore, providing them with important competencies that are currently demanded by society from business professionals [12,40]. SL should therefore be an essential component of the training given by Economics and Business schools all around the world because it significantly contributes to the generation of business leaders with civic awareness and a commitment to ethics and sustainability [11,13].…”

“…For this reason, it is the reference country in most publications on the use of SL in this field. More specifically, if we distinguish between the various functional areas of a company, there are studies applied to several business disciplines, such as Administration [16,17], Accounting [41,42], Finance [40,43], Marketing [44,45] and Operations Management [46,47], most of which only describe the SL projects implemented but do not perform an empirical analysis of their impact on university students. In contrast, the research on the application and evaluation of SL in Entrepreneurship education is very limited in the United States [12].…”

Service-Learning for Sustainability Entrepreneurship in Rural Areas: What Is Its Global Impact on Business University Students?

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Service-Learning (SL) is a teaching innovation method that combines learning and social service objectives to improve educational quality and graduate employability. To date, there are hardly any studies on its global impact on university students. This paper describes and evaluates an SL experience for Sustainability Entrepreneurship in the context of Spanish Higher Education. Based on knowledge acquired in classrooms, multi-disciplinary teams of students from different subjects related to Business Administration offered support to potential entrepreneurs from rural municipalities in the complex task of writing a successful Business Plan for their projects for local sustainability. Within this academic framework, our study has two goals: (1) to assess the self-perception of university students about the improvement in their curricular development, professional skills and civic-social responsibility after participating in the SL experience; and (2) to estimate its possible effect on academic performance. The results show that the students acknowledged they had improved their social and sustainability commitment and their curricular development, and had acquired skills that society increasingly demands from future business professionals. Furthermore, service-students achieved significantly higher academic performance than a control group of non-participating students. These findings highlight the effectiveness of SL to provide a more holistic education for business university students.
