Abstract

Abstract Universities in China have faced great challenges in the past decade, such as challenges driven by globalization and technological progress. This requires leaders to meet the challenge of change. Little has been written from the perspective of educational leadership in Chinese higher education institutions (HEIs). This study aims to explore academic members’ perceptions of educational leadership and to explore factors contributing to the professional learning and growth of academic members in Chinese HEIs. Through a qualitative study, we explored the perceptions of 12 academic members from eight Chinese universities. The results provide us with a comprehensive conceptualized educational leadership, perceived effective educational leadership, and perceived need for capacity building. The results can be helpful to support sustainable professional development and also for administrators, universities, and policymakers in China in creating the environment and policies that facilitate the implementation of successful educational leadership experiences.

中国高校学术成员对教育领导的感知与领导能力建设的感知需求

在过去的十年里，中国的大学面临着巨大的挑战，如全球化和技术进步带来的挑战。这就要求领导者迎接变革的挑战。很少有人从中国高等教育机构教育领导的角度来写作。本研究旨在探讨中国高校学术成员对教育领导的认知，并探讨影响学术成员专业学习与成长的因素。通过定性研究，我们探讨了来自中国八所大学的12名学术成员的看法。研究结果为我们提供了一个全面的概念化教育领导、感知有效的教育领导和感知能力建设需求。研究结果有助于支持可持续的专业发展，也有助于中国的管理者、大学和政策制定者创造促进成功教育领导经验实施的环境和政策。
