“On-campus employment is rarely constructed with the intent of fostering educational outcomes. ” Devaney, 1997

“[H]igher education scholars, policymakers, and administrators often frame work as little more than a means of acquiring the financial capital necessary to pay for higher education. ” King, 2006; King & Bannon, 2002; Perna, Cooper, & Li, 2006

“[E]mployment experience can enhance the development of a range of traits such as autonomy, responsibility, and relatedness that closely mirror the leadership capacities central to the social change model of leadership. ” Hackett, 1995; Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998
