Fostering Resilience in Higher Education: Middle Management Strategies for Institutional Survival

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article examines how heads of academic programmes and departments in Israel and the Czech Republic managed crises in relation to their understanding of higher education policy. Through interviews with 27 Israeli and 26 Czech middle managers across 23 institutions, the study examines their responses, particularly to the COVID-19 crisis. While both groups faced increases in already heavy workloads and exhibited strong commitment, key differences emerged. Israeli managers prioritised student belonging, linking institutional survival to programme continuity and student retention. In contrast, Czech managers emphasised departmental responsibilities in teaching and research, viewing research performance as crucial to institutional success. These differences reflect distinct interpretations of higher education policy and the organisational cultures shaped by them. The study contributes to discussions on academic middle management, leadership and resilience, highlighting how policy frameworks influence managerial priorities and institutional survival strategies across different higher education systems.
