The Influence of Leadership Style in College Student Teamwork on Team Efficiency

Abstract

In modern college education, teamwork has become the core mode of students’ learning and development. In the process of team operation, leadership style is a key factor, which not only affects the speed and quality of the team’s tasks, but also affects the motivation, satisfaction and willingness of team members to cooperate in the future. This article discusses the role of different leadership styles in college student teams and analyzes their direct and indirect impact on team efficiency. The study found that authoritarian leaders can significantly improve efficiency in emergency situations, but it is easy to cause members’ depression and dissatisfaction; democratic leaders can promote communication and recognition, which is suitable for long-term cooperation; coaching leaders improve the quality of results through ability cultivation and feedback; service-oriented leaders attach importance to support and coordination, which is conducive to enhancing trust. Ren and cohesion; shared leadership and real leadership have been proven to have obvious advantages over student teams in recent years, especially in large-scale and interdisciplinary cooperation. Finally, this article proposes that student leaders need to learn to flexibly adjust leadership according to the nature of the task, and colleges and universities should also offer leadership courses to help students master different leadership skills.
