Abstract

Abstract: In this qualitative study, the spiritual experiences and leadership of 15 Black collegiate men enrolled at higher education institutions were examined. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand how Black men student leaders make meaning of spirituality. The first finding described how Black men students make meaning of spirituality to navigate life challenges and empower their leadership. The second finding revealed how Black men student leaders defined spirituality, which was influenced by but not exclusive to their religious beliefs. And the last finding underscored who they were as Black men and leaders, providing context to spirituality's meaning in their leadership experiences. Overall, the central focus of this study was the phenomenon of spirituality and leadership; however, this study revealed that research needs to focus on the intersection of leadership development, racial identity development, and spirituality. This article provides recommendations for administrators, faculty, and staff to be more inclusive of spirituality in the leadership development of Black men college students.

精神力量赋予黑人领导:黑人大学生领导的现象学研究

摘要:本研究对15名黑人大学生的精神体验和领导能力进行了定性研究。这个现象学研究的目的是了解黑人学生领袖如何使灵性的意义。第一个发现描述了黑人学生如何利用灵性来应对生活挑战并增强他们的领导力。第二个发现揭示了黑人学生领袖是如何定义灵性的，灵性受其宗教信仰的影响，但并非完全限于宗教信仰。最后一个发现强调了他们作为黑人男性和领导者的身份，为他们的领导经历中的灵性意义提供了背景。总体而言，本研究的中心焦点是灵性和领导现象;然而，本研究表明，研究需要关注领导力发展，种族认同发展和灵性的交集。本文为管理人员、教师和工作人员提供了建议，以便在黑人男性大学生的领导力发展中更加包容灵性。
