GOING THE EXTRA MILE: STUDENT PERSPECTIVE WITHIN PAKISTANI HIGHER EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This article explores student citizenship behaviour (SCB) within Pakistani higher educational context. SCB has been investigated by the researchers in different contexts primarily through quantitative approaches. However, there is scant evidence about the phenomena in an Asian context in general and in Pakistani context in particular. This research is intended to fill that gap by utilizing qualitative approach. Data was collected through focus groups and semi-structured in-depth interviews and were analysed through hermeneutic phenomenological analysis process.
