| description |
Tertiary or university level is the highest level of
education before a person embarking on his/her
career life. The expectations have always been high
towards university to mould studentsʼ good
personalities. This is mainly to ensure that the
graduates are capable of handling obstacles and
challenges in their real life. In normal circumstances,
the role of residential colleges in shaping students
behavior is not much highlighted. This paper
explores the potential role of residential colleges in a
university especially in inculcating organizational
behaviour among students. This study employs
qualitative method mainly through library research
and interview sessions with relevant parties who are
directly involved in the administration of colleges at
public universities. Several cases were studied, and
the findings are used to illustrate and explain the
actual scenario. The study found that residential
colleges have many opportunities to educate
students in the respect of professional ethics.
Colleges provide favourable environment to
appropriately inculcating balance in studentsʼ
development including towards organizational
behavior throughout their years of study. The efforts
can be divided into two categories: On the level of inner self which can be further divided into
awareness, self-reflection and conviction, and on the
level of practicality. The students will value the spirit
of mutual respect and social responsibility throughout
their dealing with college office staff. These values,
even though may be seen as simple, are indeed,
invaluable and important for their future experience in
the society. Several challenges to such role are also
identified which can be divided into two aspects:
Students and university. |
