“…Both males and females were invited to participate in this study and the response rate was commensurate. It was important for the researchers to gain gender perspectives in this study, given the evidence for gender inequity in the Russian academic professions, as described by Gewinner (2016). Both male and female respondents appeared to shoulder heavy administrative responsibilities.…”

This paper explores integrity dilemmas experienced by Russian academics in the context of building a world‐class university. Interviews with professors and managers of major research universities in Moscow provide critical insights into the organisational and attitudinal incongruities generated by a coercive state—a challenge that Russia has been unable to rise above following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Scepticism as to the “master model” of competitive performance is evident in relation to the Russian 5‐100‐2020 excellence scheme, the overseers of which prioritise “reputation management” over integrity in governance and performance. In addition to exposing the consequences of deficient institutional autonomy, which prevail in the context of a post‐totalitarian society, this paper calls for enhanced critical inquiry into university excellence programmes imposed by performativist and vanity‐driven governments.

“…Parallel to this – and this is often the prevalent practice – academic leadership has been perceived as an administrative power position, involving an ambitious workload and an exhausting number of tasks that are difficult to accomplish (Evans, 2017). Translated literally, professorship is frequently associated with irregular working hours, a mass of administrative work and a poor work–life balance, which is often daunting for women (Gewinner, 2016) as a result of a greater burden on women in unpaid work.…”

Purpose This paper aims to represent a unique and original piece of research on full professors in global hospitality and tourism academia. Aimed at revisiting academic leadership, this study identifies its components and gains insight into the so far understudied dimensions of diversity in academic contexts worldwide. Design/methodology/approach This study examines the careers of senior researchers (R3 and R4, according to European Commission) in hospitality and tourism, with special attention given to diversity. Based on quantitative methodology and a standardised online search, it uses individual-level data to give insights into dimensions of academic leadership. Full professors from the UK, the USA, German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, New Zealand, China, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea) build the sample. Findings Academic leadership in hospitality and tourism academia is not yet fully tied to cooperation with industry, as predicted by the “Triple Helix” model. Currently, the majority of the intellectual component constitutes academic leadership, outweighing administrative and innovative angles. Gender, age and ethnic diversity are underrepresented. While some regions can be considered sealed to ethnic diversity, others are more open and attract international scholars. Originality/value Rooted in interdisciplinary explanations, this study is the first of its kind to consider various diversity dimensions of academic leadership from a global perspective. It not only enriches the notion of academic leadership but also provides several practical implications and suggestions for further research.

En el presente trabajo se realiza una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre el fenómeno del techo de cristal en las universidades españolas. Esta tuvo un horizonte temporal de diez años e incluyó los estudios publicados en las principales bases de datos de revistas indexadas y de organismos oficiales. Se detectan tres características de los estudios: 1) escasez de investigaciones empíricas, 2) estudios de casos aislados y 3) falta de consenso sobre las causas del fenómeno. Se concluye la necesidad de realizar estudios empíricos a nivel nacional centrados en el análisis de las barreras organizacionales.
