        <dc:description>Despite growing research on student leadership, few studies examine how digital pressures affect leadership&#13;
and resilience among Generation Z student leaders in Malaysian universities. Facing constant connectivity,&#13;
digital fatigue, and the need to balance academic and leadership roles, these students rely on resilience. This&#13;
study explored how digital environments shape their leadership styles and resilience. Ten university student&#13;
leaders, selected through purposive and snowball sampling, participated in semi-structured interviews as&#13;
part of a qualitative case study. To assist in framing the conversation, each participant completed the&#13;
Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire Form 6S and the Brief Resilience Scale prior to the interview.&#13;
Thematic analysis revealed that participants frequently employed a mixed leadership style, incorporating&#13;
both transformational and transactional elements. Digital literacy, participative approaches, and situational&#13;
adaptability influence leadership development. Personal passion, experience-based learning, early exposure&#13;
to leadership roles, mentorship, and the use of digital technologies were all contributing factors. Participants&#13;
faced challenges such as emotional strain, peer conflict, institutional limitations, and online criticism.&#13;
Resilience appeared as an important trait, strengthened by strong support networks, a growth-oriented&#13;
attitude, and spiritual beliefs. These findings emphasise the need for emotionally sensitive, value-aligned&#13;
leadership development programs in higher education.</dc:description>
