Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between the organisational quality management initiatives (OQMI) and organisational culture (OC) on the sustainability of Malaysian higher education institutions (SMHEI). The study utilised 263 top administrators’ completed questionnaire survey from universities in Peninsular Malaysia. The statistical techniques employed in this study were descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and a full-fledged structural equation modelling to address the research questions and hypotheses testing. The findings revealed that long-term strategic planning initiatives (LSPI) required a thorough revision; communication and decision-making, and organisational climate of Malaysian higher education institutions (MHEI) persisted as challenges in improving the SMHEI. It was also revealed that the implementation of balanced scorecard could enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of MHEI. This study provides a basis for future studies, particularly in the Peninsular Malaysia context. Theoretically, the study also found that not only leadership perspectives required further investigation but also the financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth perspectives in the administration for SMHEI. Keywords: balanced scorecard, sustainability, organisational climate, quality assurance, long-term strategic planning initiatives

马来西亚高等教育机构的未来可持续性:什么最重要?

本研究的目的是考察组织质量管理举措（OQMI）和组织文化（OC）对马来西亚高等教育机构（SMHEI）可持续性的影响。这项研究使用了263名马来西亚半岛大学高级管理人员完成的问卷调查。本研究采用的统计技术包括描述性统计、验证性因素分析（CFA）和全面的结构方程建模，以解决研究问题和假设检验。调查结果显示，长期战略规划倡议需要彻底修订；马来西亚高等教育机构（MHEI）的沟通和决策以及组织氛围一直是改善SMHEI的挑战。研究还表明，实施平衡记分卡可以提高MHEI的有效性和效率。这项研究为未来的研究提供了基础，特别是在马来西亚半岛的背景下。理论上，该研究还发现，不仅领导视角需要进一步调查，SMHEI的财务、客户、内部流程以及管理中的学习和成长视角也需要进一步调查。关键词：平衡记分卡、可持续性、组织氛围、质量保证、长期战略规划举措
