“…Guided by a critical realist informed methodology, the research explored at a deeper level of the mechanisms and power asymmetries that accounted for the complexities that FALs experienced in academic leadership practice in context (Kempster & Parry, 2011;Mueller, 2014). Specifically, the study examined the causal powers behind complexities in social relationships-either transitive or intransitive-that produce the rules and practices, as well as the material conditions that motivate leaders to act.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">Indonesia has achieved equal parity in access to education, income, and career opportunities. Yet in many parts of the country, female academic leaders are still highly under-represented in top academic boards. This study examines how fourteen (14) Indonesian female higher education academic leaders (FALs) enact identity salience and agency in performing their duties, while experiencing social control schemas or ‘triple binds’—exigencies of gender roles, unequal power-plays due to social status and positions, and lack of organizational resources and capital in higher education—in Indonesia, one of the world’s emerging economies still consolidating democracy and building necessary social, fiscal, and physical infrastructures. Taken as a whole, the study found the ‘triple binds’ as aggregate constraints for female leadership progression, driving female academic leaders to resist and rise above this discursive struggle and confrontation through sense-making, assertiveness, depth of conviction, a take-charge attitude, and the use of other tactical strategies like networking with key gatekeepers to obtain the resources they need. The study presents a framework of the triple binds that university leaders can use to assess constraints to academic leadership.</p>

“…In the context of this study, Indonesian ALs construct their individual self-views about their identity and roles as leaders, independent of others' views. Critical realists believe that one can explain the complexity of a phenomenon by uncovering the causal mechanisms contingent on contexts in social relationships, and the structures surrounding the phenomenon (Mueller, 2014). According to this paradigm, uncovering causal powers could lead a researcher to "speculate about the potential consequences of social phenomena on given conditions" (Newton et al, 2010, p. 580).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mechanisms that explain the complexities Indonesian higher education (HE) academic leaders (ALs) experience in performing leadership roles. The research addresses the questions: How do Indonesian ALs perceive their roles in HE? What are the challenges facing Indonesian ALs in their roles in the Indonesian HE context? To what extent does gender impact how ALs act and are perceived? Design/methodology/approach In sum, 35 ALs from six Indonesian universities representing top executive positions were interviewed. Data were analysed thematically using a retroductive process followed by a series of on-site member-checking activities to establish credibility and authenticity of the findings. Findings The religious principles of amanah (the “altruistic calling” of their functions needing dedication, commitment, and passion) unique to the Indonesian cultural experience influence ALs views of leadership. ALs face role constraints due to resource limitations, experiencing a double bind, while harmonising differences due to ascribed social status and position. Research limitations/implications Supportive structures effective for academic leadership practice must be created, further studies on male ALs’ roles in promoting the leadership ascent of female ALs and promoting work-life balance will improve ALs’ visibility and salience in steering institutional growth. Originality/value This is the first study to focus a critical lens on the complexities of context-based leadership practice as it is influenced by amanah. Layers of constraints confronting female ALs were documented due to exigencies of gender role expectations and resource limitations, yet they exhibited paternal navigational skills beyond the maternal and pastoral calling of their roles.

“…Ülevalt alla hariduskorralduse mudelitest vabanemiseks soovitavad Lumby (2012) ja Bush (2014) keskenduda kultuurile kui peamisele organisatsioonisisesele võimuvahendajale. Mueller (2013) soovitab organisatsiooniliste väärtuste teoreetilist kontseptualiseerimist. Veelgi enam, Hatzoupoulus, Kollias ja Kikis-Papadakis (2015) leiavad, et haridus korralduse ja hariduse juhtimise mõistmine võib mõjutada kooli juhtimise arengut.…”

Artiklis analüüsitakse, kuidas Brasiilias São Paulos loodi haridusjuhtidele mõeldud kujundava sekkumisprojekti käigus uus hariduskorralduse kontseptsioon. Võgotskile ja Leontievile tuginedes esitasime küsimuse, milline on osalejate isikliku arusaama ja hariduskorralduse sotsiaalse tähenduse vastastikmõju ühise kontseptsiooni kujundamisel. Ühise kontseptsiooni loomise käigus tekkinud arutelusid analüüsiti kolmes järgus: alguses väljapakutud viimistlemata kontseptsiooni (ingl raw object) selgitamine, viimistlemata kontseptsiooni edasiarendamisel tekkinud vastuolude käsitlemine ja uue kontseptsiooni stabiliseerimine. Viimistlemata kontseptsioon väljendas hariduskorralduse harjumuspärast eesmärki aidata kaasa õpetamis- ja õppimistingimuste parandamisele. Vastuolud tekkisid peamiselt arusaamades selle kohta, kas hariduskorraldus on vajalik õpetamiseks ja õppimiseks või õpetamise ja õppimise kaudu kogukonna muutmiseks. Stabiliseerumine saavutati hääletamise tulemusena ning uue hariduskorralduse eesmärk määratleti näiliselt samamoodi nagu viimistlemata kontseptsiooni puhul. Stabiliseerumisperiood jäi siiski ajutiseks ja sellega seoses tuli püüda ületada kahe alternatiivse definitsiooni vastasseisu. Seega jäid nii hariduskorralduse tähendus kui ka kontseptsioon avatuks edasistele muudatustele. Siinses artiklis kirjeldame, kuidas kaasati haridusjuhte ühisesse jõupingutusse hariduskorralduse kontseptsiooni väljatöötamisel. Artiklis tutvustame ja testime uut teoreetilist raamistikku, mille abil saab uurida ühise kontseptsiooni kujundamisega kaasnevaid muutusi hariduskorralduses. Full text
