Abstract

This study exam the level of organizational exclusivity within student organizations at Sanata Dharma University and identifies the dominant exclusivity indicators shaping students’ organizational experiences. Organizational exclusivity refers to both formal and informal mechanisms that restrict access to membership, information, leadership opportunities, and internal participation structures (Ashley & Empson, 2013). While student organizations are widely recognized as developmental spaces that enhance student engagement, leadership competence, and institutional belonging (Kahu & Nelson, 2018; O’Keeffe, 2019), selective recruitment systems, hierarchical dynamics, and social capital networks may generate unequal participation. A descriptive quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 135 undergraduate students who had actively participated in officially recognized student organizations for at least one year. Data were collected using a validated Organizational Exclusivity Scale consisting of 54 valid items (α = .908). Descriptive statistical analysis with theoretical categorization was applied. The findings indicate that exclusivity levels were predominantly low (55.56%) and very low (30.37%), with no respondents categorized as high or very high. These results suggest that student organizations at Sanata Dharma University operate within relatively inclusive and participatory structures, although relational social capital remains a subtle influencing factor. The study contributes empirical evidence to contemporary discussions on organizational inclusion, social closure, and student engagement in higher education contexts.
