THE ROLE OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN SHAPING THE PERFORMANCE OF MANAGEMENT STUDENTS

Abstract

This study examines the impact of extracurricular activities on management students, highlighting how participation influences academic performance, personal growth, and career prospects. Through engagement in sports, arts, leadership roles, and community service, students build essential soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and time management. Previous research indicate that students involved in extracurricular activities exhibit higher motivation, self-confidence, and academic success. Additionally, these activities provide valuable networking opportunities and hands-on experiences that enhance employability. The study underscores the importance of a holistic education, advocating for the integration of extracurricular activities into the management curriculum to develop well-rounded individuals prepared for the evolving demands of the business world.
