Abstract
Student organizations play a strategic role in developing leadership and organizational management competencies among university students. However, the disruption era requires student leaders to demonstrate adaptive, collaborative, and performance-oriented leadership skills. This study examines the effectiveness of Student Management Skills Training (SMST) in enhancing leadership and managerial competencies of student organization leaders at Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng. A descriptive quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test–post-test design was employed, involving 97 student leaders from intra-campus organizations. Data were collected using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire with high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.91). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-tests, and Cohen’s d effect size. The results indicate a significant improvement in leadership and managerial competencies, with mean scores increasing from 4.04 to 4.46 (t(96) = 9.87, p < 0.001) and a large effect size (d = 0.97). The findings confirm that SMST is an effective training model and should be institutionalized with mentoring and long-term evaluation.
