“…After that, university autonomy was applied as an inevitable trend, and FTU was one of the universities that piloted the university model. Although both universities are autonomous in 3 activities (i) organizational and personnel; (ii) academics; (iii) finance ( Pham & Le, 2021) but this research is conducted to point out if there are any differences between faculties' participation in university's governance.…”

“…There have been some studies suggesting that shared governance and Faculty participation has become a trend in the HE system since Vietnam transformed into a market economy (Nguyen et al, 2019). More specifically, Pham & Le (2021) has published research on the practice of lecturers' participation in university governance. In fact, Vietnam has many different models of university governance.…”

Vietnamese universities are now in a state of "diverse governing bodies" and the Ministry of Education and Training is responsible for their expertise. This model can cause overlapping or loosened management by many agencies simultaneously managing. Vietnamese universities need to promote autonomy and accountability in management. This study was conducted in 2018-2019 with 322 lecturers and educational managers working at two Vietnamese public universities governed by different autonomy policies. This research analyses the academic staff's participation in university governance toward autonomy. The research results show that (i) there is no difference between the two universities in the level of participation in governance activities; (ii) The academic staff's participation levels are positively correlated from low to moderate levels according to the effectiveness of participating in activities; (iii) The higher the participation level, the higher the scientific research results are for domestic publication. However, it is not a significant case for international publication.

“…Numerous previous studies have addressed the topic of university (Agyeman, Tamanja, & Bingab, 2021;Bian, 2021;Burns, 2020;Carson, 2020;Croucher et al, 2020;Crow et al, 2020;de Boer & Maassen, 2020;Facchini & Fia, 2021;Gu, Feng, & Huang, 2020;Hai & Anh, 2022;Halalu, 2023;Huang et al, 2020;Jiang & Xue, 2021;Lo, 2021;Mai et al, 2022;Nurlatifah & Ahmar, 2022;Rymarzak et al, 2020;Shattock, 2021;Shaw, 2014;Staples et al, 2021;Xue, Cornelis, & Zhu, 2022;Yadessa, Bekabil, & Fetene, 2022;Yao, Weng, & Ye, 2019). However, studies specifically addressing the theme of good university governance namely, Blackmore & Lund (2022); Christina & Brahmana (2021); Mutiarin, Suswanta, & Darumurti (2019); Nurhayati & Ahmar (2022); Rahayu, Subagiyo, & Rahayu (2018); Wardhani et al (2019) have primarily focused on examining its influence on various aspects of university governance.…”

To achieve its vision and mission, the University of Indonesia (UI) has undertaken a series of improvements across various domains, encompassing governance. However, despite these endeavours, the enhancements in UI's governance do not seem to correlate with its performance achievements as documented in the annual reports. This study aims to analyse the application of the principles of good university governance at UI, a state university, from 2014 to 2019. The findings reveal that the execution of good university governance at UI, operating as a State University with a Legal Entity from 2014 to 2019, has not been optimised. The study delineated obstacles to good university governance at UI, encompassing the lack of involvement in decision-making processes beyond the rectorate, particularly in academic management; absence of transparent selection criteria for critical leadership roles such as UI Rectors and Deans; disparities in workload distribution across UI units; and outdated information on the ui.ac.id website. Recommendations stemming from the study advocate for enhancements in regulatory frameworks, refinement of staff performance assessment mechanisms, dissemination of financial regulations, and exploration of avenues to augment non-tuition revenue streams. These proposed measures aim to mitigate the identified challenges and to implement sound university governance principles more effectively at UI
