“…The present study considers the context wherein universities operate, and CEE countries pay considerable attention to the institutional autonomy of universities. This is a common tendency in post-authoritarian states that do not have an uninterrupted HE tradition (Pūraitė et al, 2017). These states tend to meticulously regulate and define various rights, which may have a paradoxical effect: if academic freedom and institutional autonomy are overly regulated, they lose their essence (Thorens 2006).…”

Purpose: The article explores changes in the institutional autonomy and accountability resulting from university reforms carried out over a period of 28 years under the influence of the traditional public administration and new public management logic. Design/methodology/approach: This qualitative study uses rich empirical material, which includes archival documents as well as 16 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with deans, professors, representatives of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and HEI experts. For analysis, we used the general inductive approach. Institutional logic has been used as the theoretical framework to analyze changes in resource allocation, autonomy, and accountability of HEIs. Findings: Following the idea of reform as routine, our study shows that the implemented reforms have proven ineffective in comprehensively increasing the autonomy and accountability of HEIs and that they tend to turn into a routine. However, over the past 30 years, a certain increase in autonomy, combined with accountability shifts from input toward output control mechanisms can be observed. An important finding of this research is also the limited understanding of the concept of accountability by the top management of universities and by the ministry’s representatives. Moreover, this illustrates that accountability is understood only as a formal obligation to report to the funding agency and is treated as an integral part of the Polish HE landscape, increasing from reform to reform. Originality/Value: This article explores the evolution of the Polish state funding systems of universities and analyzes the development from a stable traditional funding model – that was in place before the collapse of the communist system – to a complex multi-tier system and to recent attempts at reforming the HE field, aimed at increasing the autonomy and accountability of Polish universities. More efforts should be made by policymakers to create a sustainable balance between autonomy and accountability in the HE field.

“…Diversos autores utilizam a visão denominada new managerialism que se aplica tanto às universidades públicas quanto privadas (Byun, 2008;Dobbins et al, 2011;Baschung, Goastellec, & Leresche, 2011;Osipian, 2017 (Nguyen, Hamid & Moni, 2016;Maassen et al, 2017). Para Chiang (2004) (Maassen et al, 2017;Magalhães, Veiga, Ribeiro, & Amaral, 2013 A influência do Estado na autonomia das IESs é amplamente citada pela literatura analisada (Ordorika, 2003;Triventi, 2013;Praneviciene, Puraite, & Vasiliauskiene, 2017;Hong, 2018). Basicamente, esta relação ocorre por meio de leis, regras e regulamentos, onde o Estado pode se tornar um provedor fundamental das IESs, o que tende a aumentar o grau de dependência estatal e impor restrições à sua autonomia.…”

“…A validação empírica pretendida utilizou a técnica de análise de conteúdo para os dados coletados. O estudo constata que a partir das especificidades do sistema nacional de Ensino Superior existe a necessidade de se papel do Estado na autonomia institucional é um dos fatores mais importantes para sua compreensão e ocorre por meio de leis e regulamentos que podem colocá-lo como o principal provedor de recursos das IESs(Praneviciene et al, 2017;Hong, 2018). De forma genérica,Dobbins et al (2011) apresentam três modelos de Ensino Superior, que exercem influência direta sobre a autonomia institucional: "modelo de auto governança acadêmica", "modelo centralizado no Estado" e "modelo orientado ao mercado".…”

Autonomia institucional e dimensões da internacionalização de Instituições de Ensino Superior brasileiras

The present dissertation explores the relationship between institutional autonomy and the internationalization of Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It is assumed that the sustainability of the internationalization process of an HEI is influenced by the configuration of its autonomy. From theoretical perspective, it is expected to understand the HEIs within the institutional theory and, in management terms, that institutional managers can broaden their knowledge about the institutional structure, the environmental context and the use and attraction of resources. This dissertation contains three chapters in the format of academic papers, besides the presentation and conclusion. The second chapter consists of a theoretical-empirical article based on the systematic literature review method, carried out on the ISI-Web of Knowledge and Scopus bases. The results showed the existence of several factors associated with institutional autonomy and internationalization in this context, highlighting the influence of external environmental factors. Organizational and structural factors were also found. Among the organizational elements about autonomy, the literature converges. Regarding internationalization, the attempt to establish prescriptive processes that support manager´s decision is perceptible. In this sense, both public and private HEIs are increasingly adapting their structures to more marketable management that can compete in this complex and multidimensional reality. The third chapter presents a theoretical-empirical article based on the empirical validation of experts from nine public HEIs contemplated by CAPES PrInt in 2018, through structured questionnaire and content analysis. The results showed that institutional autonomy presents itself in its academic, financial and organizational form, with several limitations due to regulatory environment conditions. By relating autonomy to internationalization, the influence of academic autonomy on internationalization initiatives was attested in public HEIs. At first, internationalization is often part of the individual initiative of teachers and researchers to be formally incorporated by HEI. It is necessary to understand institutional capacities and motivations in order to consolidate internationalization, which will allow Brazilian HEIs to design flexible and sustainable strategies that expand their competitive conditions. The fourth and final chapter is also a theoretical-empirical article that discusses the interrelationships between autonomy and dimensions of internationalization of a private Brazilian HEI. The results show in private HEIs the organizational and financial autonomy is more expressive for internationalization compared to the academic type, due to the lack of institutional direction. It was found that internationalization occurs formally as a strategic institutional action. In the case of these institutions, the institutional profile (research or market) determines the way in which internationalization is conceived. In market-oriented HE...

Yükseköğretim hizmetlerinin sunumu belli bir maliyet gerektirmektedir. Genellikle kamusal malların finansmanı zorunlu finansman olan vergilerle yapılırken, yükseköğretim gibi karma malların finansmanı ise zorunlu ve gönüllü finansman olan vergi ve fiyatlarla sağlanır. Bu çalışmada yükseköğretimin finansmanı açısından karma finansman modeli içerisinde değerlendirilebilecek bir model olan tamamlayıcı karma model incelenecektir. Bu modelde belirlenecek kriterlerle üniversitelere kamu bütçesinden bir kaynak tahsis edilecektir. Ancak bu kaynak toplam üniversite bütçesinin belli bir kısmını oluşturacaktır. Bu kaynak dışında öz kaynaklar da kullanılacaktır. Sonraki yıl bütçesi oluşturulurken ise enflasyon oranları dikkate alınarak bir artış öngörülecektir. Üniversite, kriterleri daha ileri taşımışsa kamudan gelecek kaynaklar artırılarak öz kaynağa ihtiyaç duymayacak ve bir teşvik mekanizması ortaya konulacak ancak kriterlerde arzu edilen başarı sağlanamamışsa kamu kaynakları azaltılarak öz kaynak bulması gerekecek bu şekilde bir ceza mekanizması oluşturularak yük üniversitelere yüklenecektir. Bu sayede kurumlar arası rekabetin ve kalitenin artması sağlanabilecektir. Kamunun bu alana aktaracağı kaynaklar daha etkin bir şekilde kullanılmış olacaktır. Çalışmada Türkiye’deki araştırma üniversitelerinin son 3 yıl verileri dikkate alınarak değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Performans göstergesi olarak da TÜMA (Türkiye Üniversiteleri Memnuniyet Araştırması) ve (University Ranking by Academic Performance) URAP sıralama sistemi göstergeleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda kaynakların etkin tahsis edilmediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma ile kaynak tahsisinde etkinlik sağlanması amacıyla politika yapıcılara yol gösterici öneriler sunulması hedeflenmektedir.
