“…The law of development of things shows that the creation and promotion of a new thing will definitely have a certain influence on other things. Cloud computing technology is so; its application in all walks of life really pulls the progress of social construction, and its administrative management of colleges and universities must be some influence [5]. Literature [6] believes that cloud computing can provide users with better and safer data management, computing, storage and other services due to its unique resource sharing and convenient management and maintenance, which can lead to the updating and progress of university administration.…”

In the traditional administrative management mode of higher education institutions, different departments work separately, and it is difficult to realize the sharing of information. This paper follows the hierarchical design of J2EE multilayer architecture to build an administrative management platform for colleges and universities. Through cloud computing technology college management information through Hibernate mapping to the object table to achieve data storage and sharing. Simulated annealing algorithms and genetic algorithms are introduced into the system to realize the optimal scheduling of administrative tasks and promote the overall collaborative efficiency of the task process. Finally, the workflow analysis is carried out on the practical cases of administrative management in colleges and universities, and the optimal scheduling of administrative tasks t 1 ~ t 9 in colleges and universities is completed. The results show that the platform 400Vuser under the integrated response time of 2.833 seconds less than the expected 3 seconds, the maximum number of concurrency in the maximum response time constraints can reach 4500 or so, to meet the performance requirements of university administrative management. And task t 1 ~ t 9 completes the optimal scheduling in the experiment, saving a total of 2 resource types. This system is of great practical significance in improving the efficiency of administrative offices in universities, reducing human errors and saving labor costs.

“…Boundary theory and border theory have been extended to incorporate higher education as a third domain in addition to home and work. Previous research has usually found segmentation of these boundaries to be superior to integration, although what may be even more important for individual performance is the ability to manage the multiple roles of student, employee, and family member (Eastgate et al, 2021). Work schedules and time management can be more of a problem and challenge for part-time students than for full-time students (Yusuf et al, 2020), indicating that the border from home or work to school and back is particularly difficult to cross.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to measure the effects of COVID-19 on student learning. Using boundary theory and border theory, the authors hypothesize that learning will be highest in 2019, the year before the pandemic, and lowest in 2020, the year that the pandemic began.Design/methodology/approachParticipants were business students at an American university. The authors administered the same 88-question multiple-choice exam in a capstone course in May 2019, May 2020, and May 2021. Ten questions measured learning in the capstone course (current learning), and the remaining questions assessed learning from prerequisite courses (prior learning). Any year-to-year differences in test scores may be attributed to the effects of COVID-19.FindingsCurrent learning was exactly as hypothesized. It was highest in 2019 and lowest in 2020. Prior learning appeared to be completely unaffected by the pandemic. It increased slightly but insignificantly throughout the three years. The authors conclude that home–school boundary and border problems caused by the pandemic inhibited the ability of students to remember what they had recently learned but did not prevent them from demonstrating knowledge of information that they had acquired in pervious semesters.Originality/valueThe authors add value to the body of knowledge about the effects of COVID-19 on student learning because (1) our dependent variable is cognitive. Most other studies have modeled attitudinal dependent variables such as satisfaction; and (2) this sample is located within the United States. Most other research has utilized participants in other countries and their results may not generalize to the American context.

“…Importantly, all outcomes have been shown to be related to boundary management practices (for review, see Eastgate et al, 2021 ). For example, work-study boundary permeability (i.e., how easy it is for role responsibilities to cross role boundaries) is associated with more work and study role overload and greater work and study demands ( Wan et al, 2022 ); work-study boundary segmentation (i.e., strength of boundary separation between roles) is related to less work-study conflict and more enrichment ( van Steenbergen et al, 2018 ); and work-study boundary congruence is related to better wellbeing and higher levels of perceived future employability ( Chu et al, 2021a , b ).…”

Students managing work and study role boundaries: a person-centred approach

To cope with demands of working while studying, students must structure the boundaries between these roles (e.g., integrate or segment them) to suit their preferences and circumstances. However, students differ on how well they do this, and we do not yet understand the factors that contribute to managing work and study well. We sought to determine if different student groups existed and if the groups reported different work, study, and wellbeing outcomes. Using latent profile analysis and assessing work-study boundary congruence and flexibility (N = 808; 76% female; MAge 19.6 years), we identified four groups of (a) “balanced” (65.4%; with moderate boundary congruence and flexibility); (b) “high work congruence and flexibility” (17.5%; working arrangements supportive of study role); (c) “low work congruence and flexibility” (9.7%; unsupportive workplace arrangements); and (d) “low study congruence” (7.3%; study arrangements unsupportive of work role). These groups reported different work/study demands, role conflict, study burnout, and perceived employability, with “balanced” and “high work congruence and flexibility” groups scoring more positively and “low work congruence and flexibility” and “low study congruence” groups scoring more negatively. Results supported that different student groups existed, and these will need different supports to manage their multiple role responsibilities.
