“…These struggles and trade-offs were clearly visible to current colleagues, creating an image of a professional who does not fit the profile of a future academic leader. Academic leaders, irrespective of the pressures they face, are expected to have a strong reputation for collegiality, patience, and good listening skills that would enable them to be successful in enacting the bottom-up governance approach typical for academia (Wang & Frederick, 2018). It is important, therefore, for all business schools to implement practices that support research productivity in general and international mobility in particular as another mechanism of career development for female faculty.…”

We focus on the role that domestic and international mobility play in achieving a business academic's career outcomes. We seek to advance existing research by taking a morenuanced approach to the study of mobility. Using a sample of 376 tenured faculty members from 20 highly research-visible European business schools in 10 countries, we explore different patterns of mobility and highlight their link to research-career capital and the speed of academic promotion. Our findings show that mobility has a positive impact on research-career capital, but multiple moves delay academic promotion. In making decisions about international mobility, it is important to know that moving internationally for one's first post-PhD job undermines research productivity. However, moving internationally between year 2 and year 7 post-PhD is better than moving later on. The ability to move between countries is deeply rooted in gender, with female faculty less likely to access international mobility. Female academics also take longer to be promoted to a tenured rank and to full professorship. Our findings have implications for academic researchers who consider domestic and international mobility, and for PhD supervisors whose duty it is to prepare their students for successful careers in academia. 186

“…It has been suggested that mental health practitioners make dynamic leaders in higher education settings (Miller, 2016;Wang & Frederick, 2018). There is, however, a lack of leadership style inquiry in the mental health field (Aarons, 2006;Gharabaghi & Anderson-Nathe, 2016;Kois et al, 2015).…”

Institutions of higher education rely on identified leaders to continue the mission of the organization, hire and retain quality faculty and staff, and sustain and further develop vigorous academic programs that retain students and prepare graduates to enter the work force. Discipline specific departments are subject to many demands and resources are pulled in different directions. As a result, the body of literature on leadership in higher education is robust and diverse. However, research on leadership in graduate marriage and family therapy programs is paltry in addressing if a relationship exists between leaders and student capacity to employ skills in a field focused on relationships. This study was a thematic, narrative overview. An exhaustive search of literature was conducted over the span of four years. Articles were assessed for relevance and appropriateness, organized by theme, and the findings were consolidated and are presented within this article. The three identified themes were: leadership in higher education, rigor in marriage and family therapy programs, and leadership in marriage and family therapy programs and other mental health fields. Gaps were identified in the literature and include the role of leadership style identification and self-exploration, the extent to which program leaders interact with students, and how the relationship between administrators and students impacts the development of field related skills. Keywords: leadership, higher education, marriage and family therapy, MFT programs, relational

“…In those medieval periods, monks and religious leaders focused on liberal arts (writings of Plato and Aristotle, for example), philosophy and theology (Good & Teller, 1969). These medieval monastic communities provided learning environments and preserved libraries, and both of these actions would impact the development of educational efforts across western Europe and beyond for centuries to follow (Wang & Frederick, 2018). Ultimately, civil governments became interested in fostering learning environments that provided education to broader constituencies.…”

“…Bureaucratic elements such as the utilization of numerous committees, involving both faculty and staff creates an often slow, but fairly thorough process (Wang & Frederick, 2018). In reaction to this perceived cumbersome and slow process within bureaucracies, pressures from external economic factors have pushed modern institutions of higher learning to function more like business organizations, whereby smaller groups of trustees or Board members operate with a tight group of professional executives to make quick decisions to further the institutions momentum toward achieving strategic objectives (Harper & Jackson, 2011).…”

“…However, institutions of higher education have also been identified as organized anarchy, given the variety of stakeholders participating in decision making, the lack of clarity as to objectives, and the wide range of teaching methodologies utilized (Manning, 2013. For example, faculty senates and unions provide a key stakeholder voice that the institutional administration would do well to pay heed to (Wang & Frederick, 2018).…”

International students experience cross-cultural difficulties as they seek to adapt to U.S. campuses. Past research has indicated that residence halls can have both positive and negative impacts on students' educational experiences. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study explored the lived experiences of 13 international students and 20 residence hall leaders from three Midwestern colleges, exploring the impact that residence hall leaders have on the cross-cultural adaptation of international students. Results demonstrated that residence hall leaders can foster international students cross-cultural adaptation through providing useful information that helps the students to become familiar with and understand better the new environment. Residence hall leaders who provide meaningful personal conversation with international students can also contribute to their cross-cultural adaptation through conveying value and acceptance of the student into the residence hall community. Providing residence hall community activities that help build intercultural relationships, establish cultural support networks, and promote a sense of community foster such cross-cultural adaptation as well.
