Leading for Research Excellence: Presidential Capabilities and Institutional Performance in Chinese Higher Education
Understanding how institutional leadership influences research productivity is crucial for advancing higher education policy and practice, yet empirical evidence remains limited in non-Western contexts. Drawing on upper echelons theory and a longitudinal dataset spanning 20 years (2000–2019) of 392 presidential appointments across Chinese universities, this study examines how presidential capabilities affect institutional research performance. Our findings demonstrate that presidential capabilities—measured through educational background, international experience, and academic achievements—significantly enhance research output, with effects varying across institutional contexts. The impact is most pronounced in second-tier research universities and shows stronger effects in economically developed regions and centrally administered institutions. These results contribute to understanding leadership effectiveness in higher education by highlighting how institutional contexts moderate presidential influence, offering valuable insights for leadership selection and development in higher education institutions.
期刊介绍：
Higher Education Quarterly publishes articles concerned with policy, strategic management and ideas in higher education. A substantial part of its contents is concerned with reporting research findings in ways that bring out their relevance to senior managers and policy makers at institutional and national levels, and to academics who are not necessarily specialists in the academic study of higher education. Higher Education Quarterly also publishes papers that are not based on empirical research but give thoughtful academic analyses of significant policy, management or academic issues.
