Across the great divide: What do Australian academics think of university leadership? Advice from the CAP survey

Abstract

This paper considers Australian academic staff members' attitudes to their colleagues in positions of university leadership, based on responses to the international Changing Academic Profession (CAP) survey conducted in 2007. When compared with responses from other participating nations, Australian academics indicate considerably lower satisfaction on management issues than the average for all countries. Only academics from Hong Kong and the United Kingdom report a lower level of satisfaction with institutional leadership. © 2010 Association for Tertiary Education Management and the L H Martin Institute for Higher Education Leadership and Management.
