AB - The purpose of this study is to examine female role models selected by university students based on their personal experiences and to explore how perceptions and meanings of women’s leadership are constructed from a cultural perspective. To this end, six university students were recruited as participants: three Korean students and three international students (two Hungarian and one Japanese). The participants wrote reflective reports describing the female role models they identified and the meanings these figures held for them. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, specifically thematic analysis. The findings indicate that participants tended to emphasize leadership values such as challenge and resilience, emotional empathy and communication, and value-oriented leadership through their chosen female role models. These perceptions of leadership were meaningfully shaped by participants’ cultural backgrounds and personal experiences. Korean participants were more likely to emphasize performance and institutional positions, whereas international participants tended to interpret leadership through relational and value-oriented perspectives. Rather than defining women’s leadership in terms of inherent characteristics, this study contributes by offering an exploratory analysis of how university students construct the meaning of leadership through female role models.
