Abstract (English)

Student-leaders employ various strategies to manage the multiple social roles they possess, such as being academically inclined students, effective leaders, and a good family member and friends. Multi-role management is an essential aspect for them in balancing and maintaining their relationships and performing well in each of their respective social roles. This qualitative descriptive study aims to describe how the multi-role management of student-leaders varies according to their support systems and personality traits. Likewise, it also explores how multi-role management influences the quality of the relationships of student-leaders within and outside of their respective organizations. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen informants, with a common characteristic of either being a current leader/ or having experienced being in a leadership position of their respective organization within their universities. A semi-structured interview guide was utilized to gather data from the informants, and manual coding was used for the coding process. The findings of the study reveal that the support systems(primarily family and friends) and personality traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) are critical factors for student-leaders in managing the heavy responsibilities they have. The former provides essential support to de-stress and better equip student-leaders to navigate their responsibilities efficiently. While the latter influences how student-leaders should approach managing multiple roles. Lastly, multi-role management has contributed to maintaining the quality of relationships within (e.g., organizational peers, mentors, seniors) and outside (e.g., family, friends) of the student-leaders’ organization. Successfully managing multiple roles allows student-leaders to be active and present in their relationships, allowing for more opportunities to improve the quality.
