Abstract

In this chapter we assess the changes of students in universities in Hong Kong after studying a 3-credit subject about service leadership in two semesters. A total of 148 undergraduate students studying the subject conducted a questionnaire before and after the study. The questionnaire measures students' positive youth development, satisfaction with life, and qualities related to service leadership. Results revealed that students of both semesters had positive changes in different positive youth development indicators. Students' improvement in life satisfaction and qualities related to service leadership was also found in one semester. Findings of the study offer further support to effectiveness of service leadership subject in nurturing positive development and leadership development of students.
