Summary
Academic autonomy (AA) significantly boosts strategy development (SD) and university performance (UP) in Indian public institutions. Enhanced AA and effective SD directly improve both research and teaching outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Higher Education Management
- Organizational Strategy
- Public University Performance
Background:
- Ongoing debate regarding the impact of Academic Autonomy (AA) on public universities' strategic capabilities and performance.
- Need to empirically investigate the relationship between AA, Strategy Development (SD), and University Performance (UP).
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the influence of AA on SD and UP in Indian public universities.
- To assess the direct effect of SD on UP.
- To apply a resource-based view to understand these relationships.
Main Methods:
- Survey methodology with data collected from 130 leaders of Indian public universities.
- Non-probability purposive sampling technique employed.
- Data analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM).
Main Results:
- Academic Autonomy (AA) has a positive and significant impact on Strategy Development (SD).
- AA directly enhances both research and teaching dimensions of University Performance (UP).
- Strategy Development (SD) directly and positively influences both research and teaching performance of UP.
Conclusions:
- Academic Autonomy is a critical factor for fostering effective strategy development and improving university performance.
- Direct pathways exist from AA to UP and from SD to UP, highlighting their importance.
- Findings offer practical implications for university management to enhance strategic planning and performance outcomes.

11.8K
Self-Determination Theory (SDT), formulated by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, explains that human motivation is driven by three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, individuals experience personal growth, intrinsic motivation, and overall well-being.
Autonomy is the need to feel in control of one's actions and decisions. For example, a student who chooses their research topic is likely to be more engaged and motivated than one who...

12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...
