摘要

目的本研究旨在探讨大学领导对质量保证(QA)的属性、理解和态度是否以及如何影响他们在大学有效实施质量保证的实践。设计/方法/方法采用定性案例研究,从两所大学中有意选择的9位机构领导者中收集数据。通过半结构化访谈收集的数据使用主题分析技术进行分析。研究结果显示,领导者的个人属性,如对质量保证的理解、对质量保证的态度和实践,塑造了变革型领导者或合规型领导者的领导风格。变革型领导者实施质量保证程序的目的是提高教学和研究质量。相反,遵从性领导者主要关注QA程序的实现,仅仅是为了满足外部监管机构的要求。研究局限/启示本研究承认某些其他因素(如人口统计、制度政策或实践)可能对领导实践产生影响。利用本研究的框架,进一步的定量和/或混合方法研究可以通过引入更多可以塑造领导实践的因素来扩展。领导的角色对任何一所大学的成功都是至关重要的。大量的研究报告了高等教育(HE)中成功领导的各个方面。然而,由于正式质量保证的出现而改变了高等教育的性质,缺乏研究关注领导者属性在有效实施质量保证程序中的作用。

The role of leadership in effective implementation of quality assurance mechanisms in higher education: an exploratory case study from Pakistan
Purpose This study aims to explore whether and how leaders’ attributes, understanding of and attitude towards quality assurance (QA) shape their practices towards effective implementation of QA in universities. Design/methodology/approach Using qualitative case study, the data were collected from nine institutional leaders purposively selected from two universities. The data, collected through semi-structured interviews, were analysed using thematic analysis technique. Findings The findings revealed that personal attributes of leaders such as understanding of QA, attitude towards QA and practices shape leadership style either as transformational or compliance leader. The transformational leader implements QA procedures with the intention of bringing improvement in teaching learning and research quality. In contrast, the compliance leaders are primarily concerned with implementation of QA procedures merely to fulfil the requirements of an external regulatory body. Research limitations/implications This study acknowledges that certain other factors (e.g. demographics, institutional policies or practices) might have an influence on leadership practices. Using the framework of this study, further quantitative and/or mixed methods research can expand by bringing more factors that can shape leadership practices. Originality/value The role of leadership is significant to the success of any university. A plethora of studies have reported various aspects of successful leadership in higher education (HE). However, in the changing nature of HE due to the emergence of formal QA, there is paucity of research that focusses on the role of leader’s attributes in the effective implementation of QA procedures.
