Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the level to which ‎master's students at the College of Education at Qassim ‎University possessed the management and leadership skills ‎required by the labor market. The study also sought to ‎determine whether there are distinctions in the availability of ‎these skills based on the age, gender and employment status of ‎the sample participants. The descriptive survey method to ‎achieve the goal of the study and to answer its questions ‎centered on identifying the level of availability of management ‎and leadership skills among male and female graduate students ‎at the master's level while revealing whether there are ‎statistically significant differences due to the variable gender, ‎functional status and age. The population of the study included ‎‎327 male and female students from Qassim University's ‎College of Education across all fields. The basic research ‎sample included 102 master's students from Qassim ‎University's College of Education who were chosen at random ‎using the cluster approach. The study's findings revealed that ‎while graduate students had a high level of availability of ‎leadership and management skills, male employees aged 35 and ‎up had a slightly higher level of availability of management and ‎leadership skills than other groups. This distinction is not ‎statistically significant and it could be attributed to the level of ‎statistical effect for each variable (statistical power) and to the ‎small sample size necessary to achieve that statistical effect. The ‎study recommends conducting a comparable study, but on a ‎larger scale, for graduate students across the Kingdom of Saudi ‎Arabia. The study also recommends that during the university ‎stage, students' leadership and management skills be developed ‎and that they be encouraged to volunteer so that they can apply ‎what they have learned in the theoretical aspect of leadership ‎and management skills.‎ ‎(Keywords: Management Skills, Ladership Skills, Student ‎Leadership, Labor Market Skills, Professional Development)‎
