| Abstract | Leadership preparedness is essential for immediate response to emergencies to reduce losses and save lives. This study adopted a mixed-method approach to study the effects of a customized intervention program- an elective course entitled Mindful Leadership on college students leadership preparedness for immediate emergency responses. A pre-post study design was implemented among the targeted group of 41 undergraduates. Mixed results were produced after sixteen weeks of intervention. The quantitative data presented significant pre-post difference in self-awareness but no significant differences in other sub-variables of leadership preparedness. However the qualitative data were more encouraging and provided deeper insights indicating that mindfulness education was beneficial to the development of the participants leadership preparedness. Hence- this study evidenced that a mixed-method approach enables a better understanding of the research questions- especially when the participants are not mature enough for a survey alone to detect their changes after an intervention. |
