ABSTRACT University-based executive education programs continue to expand across the country, but program directors are unclear about how to articulate the impact and effectiveness of their programs. To help identify possible measurements for future studies, we conducted an exploratory case study of a university-based executive education program for higher education leaders and documented how participants discuss the benefits of program attendance. Based on thematic coding, we found that program participants reported impacts related to: (i) generalised learning (field knowledge and personal knowledge), (ii) perspective-taking, (iii) organisational socialisation, (iv) organisational strategies, (v) career trajectory, and (vi) affective changes to mood and confidence. These possible impacts suggest possible metrics around which program directors and researchers may wish to further operationalise and measure.

大学领导者高管教育计划的影响评估研究

摘要以大学为基础的高级管理人员培训计划在全国范围内不断扩展，但计划负责人尚不清楚如何阐明其计划的影响力和有效性。为了帮助确定将来的研究可能采取的措施，我们针对高校领导者进行了一项基于大学的高管人员教育计划的探索性案例研究，并记录了参与者如何讨论计划出勤的好处。根据主题编码，我们发现计划参与者报告了与以下方面有关的影响：（i）广义学习（领域知识和个人知识），（ii）观点采掘，（iii）组织社交，（iv）组织策略，（v）职业轨迹，以及（vi）情绪和信心的情感变化。
