Abstract

Organizational culture can shape student leadership skills through experiences, interactions, and responsibilities within student organizations. This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational culture on student leadership skills in student organizations at Universitas Airlangga. A quantitative approach was employed with 100 student members of the BEM Faculty of Vocational Studies and UKM Penalaran selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, normality and linearity tests, simple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results indicate that organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on student leadership skills (β = 0.609; t = 7.591; p < 0.001), explaining 37% of the variance (R² = 0.370). These findings demonstrate that a strong organizational culture can provide a strategic environment for developing communication and problem-solving abilities as essential components of student leadership skills.
