  English, Language, LEAD2 Papers

Abstract

This study examines the impacts of the higher education (HE) academic leadership development program at the institutional level based on an Erasmus+ capacity building project. The project involved academic leadership training in over 3 years through workshops and training programs. After two years of project implementation, the mid-term impact was assessed through surveys and semi-structured interviews. Among the participants who have joined the project program for more than 12 months, 92 participants voluntarily took part in the online survey. Of those, 21 participants were involved in the semi-structured interviews. A mixed-methods approach was exploited to answer the research questions. The findings indicated positive impacts of the program on different aspects including crossinstitutional networking, collaboration, partnership, HE-related policy development and practices. The study provides empirical evidence of how the academic leadership development program contributes to helping academic institutions broaden their connection and partnership in order to achieve the institutional goals of development and innovation. The research findings are useful for policymakers, university administrators and related stakeholders. Furthermore, the approaches of academic leadership development program exploited in the current study can be applied widely in different contexts.
