Abstract

The significance of Institutional Effectiveness is pivotal to the functioning of an academic institution. The mushrooming of private institutions in the Indian higher education space necessitates exploring its antecedents to ensure quality higher education is imparted by the institution. The purpose of this research endeavor is to explore the impact of Academic Leadership on Institutional Effectiveness with a mediating role of Campus Culture and Faculty Involvement in Decision Making. The study employed a cross-sectional research design and implemented a purposive sampling technique to collet primary data from 80 permanent faculties and 249 students of private engineering colleges located in the Karnataka state of India. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling. Hypothesis shows academic leadership and campus culture has high influence on institutional effectiveness. Faculty in decision making and campus culture partially mediates between academic leadership and institutional effectiveness. The results of FIMIX-PLS and PLS-MGA analysis shows the similarity in the results of total effect and path relationships. This paper provides theoretical foundations and empirical findings on conceptualizing the antecedents of institutional effectiveness. The outcomes of this research serve as significant input to policy makers and higher education institutions to facilitate enhancement of institutional effectiveness.

摘要

机构有效性的重要性对于学术机构的运作至关重要。印度高等教育领域的私立机构如雨后春笋般涌现，有必要探索其前身，以确保该机构提供高质量的高等教育。这项研究的目的是探索学术领导对机构有效性的影响，其中校园文化和教师参与决策的中介作用。该研究采用横断面研究设计并实施了有目的的抽样技术，从位于印度卡纳塔克邦的私立工程学院的 80 名永久教师和 249 名学生那里收集原始数据。通过结构化问卷收集数据，并使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模进行分析。假设表明学术领导力和校园文化对机构有效性有很大影响。决策和校园文化的教师在学术领导和机构有效性之间部分中介。FIMIX-PLS 和 PLS-MGA 分析结果显示总效应和路径关系的结果相似。本文为将制度有效性的前因概念化提供了理论基础和实证研究结果。这项研究的结果为政策制定者和高等教育机构提供了重要的投入，以促进提高机构的有效性。决策和校园文化的教师在学术领导和机构有效性之间部分中介。FIMIX-PLS 和 PLS-MGA 分析结果显示总效应和路径关系的结果相似。本文为将制度有效性的前因概念化提供了理论基础和实证研究结果。这项研究的结果为政策制定者和高等教育机构提供了重要的投入，以促进提高机构的有效性。决策和校园文化的教师在学术领导和机构有效性之间部分中介。FIMIX-PLS 和 PLS-MGA 分析结果显示总效应和路径关系的结果相似。本文为将制度有效性的前因概念化提供了理论基础和实证研究结果。这项研究的结果为政策制定者和高等教育机构提供了重要的投入，以促进提高机构的有效性。
