Understanding Relationships between Academic Staff and Administrators: An Organisational Culture Perspective. Kuo, H. Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 31(1):43–54, February, 2009.

Paper abstract bibtex This study attempts to advance the understanding of relationships between university academic staff and administrators through information in interviews with 18 academic staff members and 18 administrators at a large public research university in the United States. Through exploring the first-hand insights and perceptions of interviewees from an organisational culture perspective, the findings suggest three patterns of relationships: professional, differential and fragmentary. The results also address the cultural subjectivity, diversity and complexity embedded in each pattern. Understanding the complex perceptions of relationships between academic staff and administrators should raise the sensitivity and awareness of individuals in their appreciation of how relationships are constructed, and help to reflect upon cultural characteristics in an academic organisation. (Contains 2 figures.)
