ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the leadership capacity and self-efficacy among international students and learns about those campus activities that promote positive leadership self-efficacy. Leadership self-efficacy is derived from the concept of self-efficacy, which is the belief that one has the capabilities and resources to perform a specific task and is grounded in the social cognitive theory, but it is better to understand self-efficacy through a field such as leadership. International students may have different leadership efficacies than their domestic student peers depending on their learning environments and the culture of their home countries and communities. While the chapter focused on the leadership self-efficacy of international students, it also prompted the profession to examine ways to better engage and develop leadership capacity in international students. It also examines more closely how campus environments impact the diverse subgroup of international student populations.
