“…HEIs are extremely complex organizations because they deal with individuals and aim at their education/training [8,[13][14][15][16]. Caliskan and Zhu [17] (p. 273) maintain that "Universities are people-oriented organizations in which the internal (academic staff, students) and external (local community, political activists, quality assurance agencies, press) stakeholders are involved".…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound consequences on the social, economic and cultural life at the global level. The educational dimension has also been affected in the schools’ regular functioning, with the temporary closure of educational institutions, as well as the impediment of face-to-face classes. This perspective paper aims to add to the knowledge already produced on this topic, by arguing that these challenging conditions can be a pivotal moment of opportunity for reshaping higher education, with the implementation, development and diffusion, among academics and students, of digital technologies. The paper also discusses the role of leadership in the transformation of organizational culture in higher education. The methodology used to carry out this study is qualitative, and the technique employed to analyze the data collected was content analysis. Research studies, in diverse formats, already published on the COVID-19 topic and its impacts were the elected data sources. The results of this document analysis allow us to conclude that there is the need to improve the digital sustainable development in teaching in higher education, which entails profound challenges that higher education institutions need to face and overcome if they want to be at the forefront of success in the international education market. This is where the authors seek to contribute, by offering insights on the challenges—but also the opportunities—that COVID-19 poses to higher education at a time when it needs to redefine its teaching methods, leadership models, and interaction channels, by going digital towards the improvement of the sustainable development of its teaching.

“…School organizations are extremely complex because they deal with individuals and aim at their education/training [16,17,18,19,20], and the specific organizational culture is a key feature to consider in the functioning and potential educational change in the organizational context [21,22,23,24]. Ozcan In terms of school culture, it is a distinctive feature of each school, that is, all schools have a culture of their own.…”

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has profound consequences on social, economic and cultural life worldwide, and is affecting, throughout the world, the regular functioning of educational institutions at all levels, with their temporary shutdown and the impossibility of face-to-face classes. This study aims to add to the analysis of the implications of this context in the reformulation of education shaped by the digital. To fulfill this goal, the authors carried out a document collection, and also mobilized their experience in the research and teaching of this topic. It is concluded that these unforeseen circumstances may be a key moment of opportunity for reformulating teaching, with the implementation, development and dissemination among teachers and students of digital technologies in shaping a society that is, itself, increasingly digital, notably Society 5.0. To this end, and as main implications, the agents of the educational process, teachers and students, due to their traits and various reasons, will have to prepare for student-centered learning through the intentional and sensible mobilization of digital technologies in a complex process, in which each agent will be, ultimately, a critical content creator with enhanced digital literacy. In the contemporary digital society, the school needs to reinvent itself, which is even more pressing with the Covid-19 pandemic. Aspects such as training, internet access infrastructure, hardware and software, digital literacy, and students and academics' teaching and learning strategies are essential. The school offers, thus, a critical contribution to social cohesion and social equity through digital inclusion in education for sustainable development.

“…When Raj et al (2019) studied the interdependent happiness of schools' organizational cultures, they found that the higher the market education level is, the lower the happiness index. When analyzing the negative impact of a market culture on teacher leadership, they found that a market culture fails to conform to the nature of higher learning; its focus on competitive, hardworking, enterprising, and demanding leaders runs contrary to the interests of teachers in higher education institutions who demand autonomy or academic freedom (Gebretsadik, 2022). In addition, the service or sales role implied in a market-oriented perspective is a source of teacher frustration, which damages the identity and status of the teaching profession (Lundström & Holm, 2011).…”
