“…Universitas di Australia pada dua dekade terakhir juga mengalami pergeseran dari organisasi publik dana manajerial kolegial menjadi new public management, market public administration dan corporate managerialism (Eckel & Kezar 2006;Parker 2011). Universitas saat ini harus dapat menerapkan konsep Good University Governance (GUG), dimana suatu institusi pendidikan tinggi harus dapat mengelola organisasi mengarah kepada tujuannya.…”

“…Institutionalisation causes systems and practices to acquire a rule-like status that renders them highly resistant to change (Zucker, 1977). Hence, accounting processes increasingly formalise and become institutionalised as an organisation attempts to project an image of rationality and compliance with convention (Parker, 2011).…”

“…Decoupling may be a rational managerial response to gain support from potential stakeholders, circumvent major potential conflicts within organisations, or maintain flexibility with co-existing values and practices within an organisation while outwardly presenting legitimising formal processes (Parker, 2011). Decoupling could also be a proactive strategic response to protect the organisation's interest and maximise efficiency without having to depend on external intervention or open up to public scrutiny (Covaleski and Dirsmith, 1988;Oliver, 1991).…”

“…Through accounting, TEIs respond to institutional environment pressures to enhance their legitimacy and uphold public accountability. From the government's perspective, the NPM logic removes the government controlled safety net in education and welfare of society and requires citizens to become more self-sufficient (Parker, 2011).…”

“…Parker, 2013;Parker and Guthrie, 2010;Moll and Hoque, 2011), but the effects of accounting changes through time, longer term value shifts and reconstruction remain largely unexplored (Parker, 2011). The research aims of this paper are relevant and significant in developing a deeper and richer understanding of the discipline of accounting as a social practice in influencing the transformation of higher education that reflects or diverges from societal, institutional and government expectations (Liguori and Steccolini, 2014;Parker, 2011). This paper, by drawing upon the 'role of accounting' and the use of TEI supporting case studies, highlights and explains how 'academic-ness' has been sacrificed in favour of a largely marketdriven and government-imposed agenda of educational reforms.…”

Purpose -This paper evaluates the role and influence played by the discipline of accounting through its association with the multiple logics of government reforms to transform the public tertiary education sector in New Zealand.Design/methodology/approach -The study adopts a case study approach utilising multiple data collection methods. Neo-institutional theory (NIT) provides an insightful and valuable complement to neo-liberalism and enhances our understanding of institutional logics driving government reforms and the transformation of public tertiary institutions.Findings -The findings reveal that accounting has become a powerful conduit for the exercise of the neo-liberalism reforms by government and implemented by managerial control over public tertiary education institutions.Research implications -By addressing a gap in the literature the paper shows how political and economic neo-liberal policies have been implemented in tertiary education with the discipline of accounting being adopted as a prime driver of these reforms. The paper has significant implications for educational management, academics and learners in understanding how and why the inherent nature, objectives and processes of the overall educational experience has undergone a radical reformation.Originality/value -New Zealand is one of the first countries to implement these educational reforms and adopted 'accounting technologies' to reduce costs and improve performance. But the reality has often been very different. Most of the government's original objectives have not been fulfilled and the reforms have been costly for the academic profession. This paper provides a valuable source of learning for academics, managers and politicians.

Research coalescing around psychological climate, engagement, and well‐being has been receiving considerable attention in management and human resource development (HRD) literature. However, research associated with these variables has generally been limited to for‐profit businesses and organizations with little attention within the context of institutions of higher education. In response, this cross‐sectional replication study examined the extent to which psychological climate, engagement, and well‐being were associated with each other in higher educational institutions. Study data included a sample of 259 individuals employed by institutions of higher education in the United States. Using mediation analyses, the study found that psychological climate, engagement, and well‐being were positively associated with each other, and that engagement mediated the relationship between psychological climate and well‐being. Implications for HRD theory and research, as well as specific recommendations for leaders and administrators in higher education are discussed.
