Israeli higher education organizations are currently under pressure to achieve global excellence, satisfy Israeli economic and security needs, and serve Israel’s diverse social groups; they are also required to meet standards of proper governance; and, they wrestle with Israeli, Jewish, Zionist and Palestinian legacies. This array of complex and often conflicting constraints drives our research, to investigate how Israeli higher education organizations are embedded in this particularly complex environment. Whereas research on the mission statements of universities focuses primarily on higher education organizations in the core countries, which serve as the ideals and templates for others worldwide, our investigation reorients this burgeoning research towards the study of higher education identification outside the highly-reputable Western academia. We examine the English-language mission statements of all academic organizations in Israel, in the period 2008–2018. Analyses reveal two main findings: (1) that local–global axis of organizational identity is ordered along place/space distinction and (2) that such glocal identity is enacted at the field level, among categories of higher education organizations. We discuss these findings in the context of the “identity paradox” of contemporary organizations, which are compelled to simultaneously declare their uniqueness as well as their relevance to certain social groups and agendas.

世界级和/或本地相关?2008-2018 年以色列高等教育组织使命宣言中的组织身份

以色列高等教育组织目前面临着实现全球卓越、满足以色列经济和安全需求以及为以色列多元化社会群体服务的压力;他们还必须符合适当治理的标准;并且,他们与以色列、犹太人、犹太复国主义者和巴勒斯坦的遗产搏斗。这一系列复杂且经常相互冲突的限制推动了我们的研究,以调查以色列高等教育组织如何融入这个特别复杂的环境中。对大学使命宣言的研究主要集中在核心国家的高等教育组织上,这些组织是全世界其他国家的理想和模板,而我们的调查将这一新兴研究重新定位到声誉卓著的西方学术界之外的高等教育认同研究。 . 我们检查了 2008 年至 2018 年期间以色列所有学术组织的英语使命宣言。分析揭示了两个主要发现:(1)组织身份的地方-全球轴是按照地方/空间区分排序的;(2)这种全球本地身份是在高等教育组织类别中的实地层面制定的。我们在当代组织的“身份悖论”的背景下讨论这些发现,这些组织被迫同时宣布其独特性以及与某些社会群体和议程的相关性。(1) 组织身份的地方-全球轴心是按照地方/空间的区别排序的;(2) 这种全球本地身份是在高等教育组织类别中的实地层面制定的。我们在当代组织的“身份悖论”的背景下讨论这些发现,这些组织被迫同时宣布其独特性以及与某些社会群体和议程的相关性。(1) 组织身份的地方-全球轴心是按照地方/空间的区别排序的;(2) 这种全球本地身份是在高等教育组织类别中的实地层面制定的。我们在当代组织的“身份悖论”的背景下讨论这些发现,这些组织被迫同时宣布其独特性以及与某些社会群体和议程的相关性。
