“…Several practices have been associated with this practice, such as the international student recruitment market (James-MacEachern, 2018), managerial control of academic work and academic labour (Willmott, 1995) and increasing spaces of consumption for students groups (Cunningham, 2016). Moreover, Brancaleone and O'Brien (2011) have critically argued that learning outcomes because of commodification strategies have appeared to be evocative; however, HEI have remained considerably incompetent at delivering the requisite level of quality education.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on academic capitalism, consumerism and commodification (A3C) in higher education. Additionally, this study aims to understand core attributes of educational leadership behaviours with ethical leadership (EL) and transformational leadership (TL) styles can contribute to inclusive and equitable quality education for students belonging to diverse socio-economic status (SES). Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a literature review methodology initially on themes of A3C, EL, TL and SES, adopting social learning theory and social identity theory. Further, organizational behavioural dynamics related to students and faculty in higher educational institutions are illustrated. Simultaneously, suggestions with practical focus are offered. Findings This paper synthesizes the literature on the convergence of leadership and SES and develops propositions to encourage future inquiry. Further, the study illuminates several attributes of four groups of student populations, namely, “privileged,” “contestant,” “dependent” and “deprived” formed because of this convergence. Research limitations/implications A3C have posed several severe questions for the sustainable development of society. Educational leaders must benefit society, offer equitable opportunities and develop affirmative leadership. Originality/value Leaders with high EL and TL behaviours can considerably contribute to achieve United Nations Sustainable Goals of Quality Education. This paper presents realistic solutions and scrutinizes organizational dynamics because of convergence of leadership and SES. Further, pragmatic leadership development strategies are suggested.

“…These concepts have been widely employed and examined in marketing and psychology literature (Babin et al, 1994;Ballantine et al, 2010;Chitturi et al, 2008;Dhar & Wertenbroch, 2000;Herz, Beland, & Hellerstein, 2004), and have also been shown to impact on teaching and learning when employed (Myers, 2010). While Cunningham (2016) mentions the blur between learning and consumption in higher education, hedonic and experiential motivations could likewise be argued to fit this notion. These values have been discussed by (Myers, 2010, p. 24) where she states: "Although the learning paradigm via experiential activities has a confirmed influence on classroom and learning outcomes".…”

This study examines how components of experiential learning styles influence hedonic and utilitarian values of classrooms in higher education. These values are argued to impact on emotions and learning outcomes. A survey was employed with university students in different universities. Findings show concrete experience has a positive impact on both hedonic and utilitarian values. These findings emphasize that those students that score higher on the concrete experience scale tend to consider classrooms as more important in terms of their utilitarian and hedonic values. These students are suggested to be more influenced by experiential designed classrooms which impact their learning outcomes.
