Enhancing Educational Leadership and Management on Transnational Campuses in 2023 and Beyond
Gareth Morris; Li Li; Jiaxin Xu
Chinese Education & Society, v56 n5-6 p435-450 2023
This article considers how transnational campuses can enhance educational leadership and management in 2023 and beyond by drawing on case study examples from one provider in eastern China. It considers the importance of recruitment and retention initiatives, and the roles that employment motivation, job satisfaction, and employee well-being play. Through utilizing a qualitative interview-based approach to data collection, the findings from this case study suggest that transnational campus leaders and managers should consider paying attention to several factors to meet potential employees' expectations concerning what good leadership and management consist of in order to enhance recruitment and retention initiatives. The findings also indicate that staff perceive leadership and management facets as overlapping and complementary in many areas and believe that leadership is not solely reliant on position. Indeed, the belief is that good examples of leadership can be found throughout an organization and that these examples can be learned from. Finally, the results highlight the importance of role models, experience, people skills, and guided learning in shaping the next generation of leaders and how they approach their potential leadership tasks.
