Abstract: (1076 Views)
Purpose: In the 21st century, along with the new needs of society, the university must respond to different demands and expectations and the university should coordinate with them. This conscious move has caused a change in the goals of the mentioned institution, and to achieve it, it gives in to new governance processes. In this article, an image of the published articles in higher education governance was presented.
Methodology: The current research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach and using the document-library study method. In this regard, using the narrative review method, scientific documents in the Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Wiley databases were examined between 2004 and 2023. By examining scientific studies on the subject, 238 documents were identified. Then, 87 sources were selected based on the abstract, of which 54 documents were selected purposefully as a research sample and were analyzed via interpretive analysis method.
Findings and conclusions: The content analysis of governance experiences in higher education can be divided into four categories, university governance models in global experiences (government-centered, academic self-governance, and market-centered models), factors affecting the governance of higher education (factors underlying the formation of university governance, intervening factors in university governance), results and consequences of governance in higher education (individual, environmental, organizational consequences), and students in the governance of higher education (areas of student participation and their participation levels). The analysis of the reviewed studies showed that in Asia, we can witness the rule of the national government. Therefore, in this continent, bureaucratic and political models are more evident in the administration of universities, and layers of market support are also seen. In the European continent, the self-governance model was seen, and in Africa the countries have moved from the government-controlled model to the government-supervised model.
