This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: External drivers are pressing for a more privatized approach to higher education and research, a greater reliance on technology and the more efficient use of resources. This book analyzes recent changes in institutional governance and management in higher education and their impact on the academy and academic work. It draws on findings from an international study based on a survey of academics in eighteen countries. It opens with a chapter outlining the key issues, drivers and challenges that inform contemporary discourse around academic work and the profession in general. It then focuses on national case studies, comparing changes in the top tier with the lower tiers of national systems, public and private institutions, and other differentiating factors appropriate in each country, which include mature and emerging higher education systems. It concludes by proposing a series of generalizations about the contemporary status of governance and management of institutions of higher education.

Book excerpt: Over the past several decades higher education institutions have faced many criticisms regarding governance. Past studies have shown that as much as 70% of campus faculty and administrators believe decision making processes are ineffective and new approaches are needed. As many scholars point out, however, little empirical research exists and few studies have been conducted to advance the body of literature to better understand the perceptions held by both faculty and administrators in regards to governance, and of those, even fewer in the community college. The literature heavily suggests the way faculty and administrators form perceptions about governance is based on the organizational environment in which they function. Few in-depth studies have attempted to investigate the implications of an organization's environment, as it relates to shared governance. Most research in the area of governance focuses on internal and external forces of colleges, ways of altering structure, faculty participation in governance, student government, faculty senates, governing boards or subunits of these. It is clear that research has been conducted regarding the various afore mentioned areas, and the viewpoints of governance has been described through many lens; faculty, administrator and board of trustees to name a few. However, in areas regarding faculty and administrative perceptions and, how they interact to alter governance, few studies have been conducted. Thus, this study's purpose was to explore institutional governance in a public two-year community college, provide a more comprehensive understanding of institutional governance, and investigate the perceptions of faculty and administrators within this sector. The results provided valuable insight to the site institution regarding participants' perceptions of institutional structure, supervisory relationships, and shared governance. The findings of the study indicated that faculty and administrators significantly differ in these aspects of their organization, and that an environment of trust and cooperation in a community of equals is not the norm. Data analysis provided further evidence of a strong correlation and a significant relationship between institutional structure and shared governance, revealing that faculty and administrators perceptions of shared governance were strongly related to their perception of institutional structure.

This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores approaches to effective leadership and strategic management in the twenty-first century university that recognize and respond to the perceptions and attitudes of university leaders toward institutional structures. It examines the differences between treating universities as businesses and managing universities in a businesslike manner, what kinds of leadership will best address challenges, and how to gain consensus among constituents that change is needed. From historical background to modern e-learning techniques, we look at governance to find systems that are effectively structured to balance the needs of students, educators, administrators, trustees, and legislators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the leadership of higher education globally, national governments play their role differently, and nowhere more so than in China, where the relationship between Chinese institutions and the government is significantly different from that experienced by Western institutions. In essence, what exists in Chinese higher education institutions is a dual system of university governance, which involves, on the one hand, the Communist Party Committee, and on the other, the university president, administrators and faculty. This paper presents an exploration of the dual managerial system in a university in southern China that is less than ten years old. Is a dual system of leadership the most suitable one for universities in today's China, given the increasingly rapid pace of changes in the educational landscape? This case study aims to explore how this dual system is perceived by staff and students, by examining their experiences of a twin-pronged leadership system. A qualitative approach is employed in order to gain a more in-depth understanding of their university experiences. Results illustrate a system that works effectively mainly because of the personalities involved, though tensions are increasingly emerging and, in the future, will most likely have to be managed more purposefully, to respond to an ever-changing higher education environment.
Download or read book Perceptions of Shared Governance written by Laurie Pezzullo and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shared governance is important to accreditation because it informs assessment for Standard VII of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (Governance, Leadership, and Administration), building trust, increasing effective communication, policy and procedures, and decision making on an institutional level. However, prior research has indicated that there is not one standard method of shared governance and there is no consensus as to whether shared governance benefits the institution. This study employed a cross-sectional survey to gather pertinent information on the constructs of shared governance. Collected data were analyzed using: (a) a t-test to determine whether there is a significant difference between faculty and administrators' perceptions of shared governance; (b) a multiple regression to predict perceptions of shared governance for faculty and administrators controlling for the effects of gender, the number of years at the institution, and the participants' level of participation in shared governance; and (c) a correlation to compare the perceptions of faculty and administrators on the different constructs of shared governance. The results of this study indicated that faculty and administrators have similar positive overall perceptions of shared governance. The findings are important to accreditation, since they inform implementation of assessment for Standards VI (Planning, Resources, Institutional Improvement) and VII (Governance, Leadership, and Administration) of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, building trust, increasing effective communication, strengthening policy and procedures, and supporting decision making on an institutional level.

Book excerpt: Shared governance is a term that has been part of the vernacular of higher education for many years, but has often been misunderstood. With current internal and external factors directly impacting colleges and universities nationwide, it is becoming more vital to better understand shared governance. Given the need for institutions to clarify their governance structure and its effectiveness, research developing a scale to provide this information to institutions is a worthwhile line of investigation.With that in mind, the researcher developed the study using three specific governance models as its framework. Specifically, the researcher framed shared governance around how bureaucratic, collegial, or political a college or university is in their governance. Additionally, the researcher also wanted to understand the effectiveness of the governance model at an institution. With this framework in mind, the study was guided by the following research questions: Can a scale be developed to measure how favorably faculty perceive the shared governance model? Can a scale be developed to measure how favorably administrators perceive the shared governance model? Can a scale be developed to inform administrators and faculty of the theoretical lens that helps inform their college or university current shared governance structure (bureaucratic, collegial, political)? Can a scale be developed to measure perceptions of how effective the current shared governance model is at their college or university? The scale development process was used to address the research questions. Specifically the researcher, developed items, conducted expert review to address construct validity, analyzed exploratory factor analysis, analyzed confirmatory factor analysis, and assessed convergent and discriminant validity.This study resulted in a tool that has gone through the scale development process. This study provides future researchers as well as faculty and administration with a scale to better understand the latent concept of shared governance. The scale specifically will provide individuals with a tool to understand their governance model and the perceptions of faculty and administrators in regards to its effectiveness.

Miller and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this dissertation was to examine shared governance and how two universities experienced a university-school district partnership. To examine this purpose an exploratory, qualitative multiple-case study was employed using the research questions and Venable and Gardiner's (1988) six criteria for authentic shared governance: (a) climate of trust, (b) information sharing, (c) meaningful participation, (d) collective decision-making, (e) protecting divergent views, and (f) redefining roles. This study was guided by four research questions: (a) What are the characteristics of the governance structure in a university-school district partnership? (b) What are the experiences of university faculty, administrators, and staff engaged in the governance of a university-school district partnership? (c) How do university faculty, administrators, and staff involved with the governance of university-school district partnerships define shared governance? And, (d) What insights emerge about shared governance and university- school district partnerships?"--Abstract.
