Surviving linguistic violence
In recent years, the term ‘woke’ has increasingly become controversial in Dutch public discourse, where cultural protectionism, anti-multiculturalism, anti-immigration, and anti-gender narratives have been amplified by the far right. Particularly within academia, ‘woke’ is increasingly used to discredit social justice efforts and institutional diversity initiatives. This paper examines how ‘woke’ is discursively constructed in Dutch academia. Dra…
Redesigning doctoral education in South Africa
It is increasingly the norm to include coursework as part of the doctoral curriculum. In this paper, academics from six countries explore how structured coursework can enhance research preparation, build scholarly communities, and develop transferable professional skills, while raising concerns about maintaining flexibility and preserving research time. Every context brings its own histories, values, and norms and so comparing experiences runs th…
Glorifying and scapegoating narratives underlying activity-based workspaces in higher education
PurposeOur study centered on activity-based workspaces (ABWs), unassigned open-plan configurations where users' activities determine the workplace. These workspaces are conceived and shaped by accommodation professionals (APs) like managers and architects and are loaded with their ideas, ideals, norms and values; therefore, they are normative and hegemonic. Previous research has largely failed to consider how APs' spatial conceptions materialize …
Three HEQuarters of a century
This autumn 2022, Higher Education Quarterly celebrated its 75th anniversary. Quite a unique event, as HEQ represents one of the oldest journals in the field of higher education research. The first issue was published in 1947, only two years after the end of the second world war. The journal was at that time called ‘Universities Quarterly’ and founded by the ‘Association for Education in Citizenship’, by Lord Simon of Wythenshawe, Mrs. E. Hubback…
Male ‘play-garden’ versus female ‘tightrope walking’
The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of gendered practices in academia by further exploring the embodiment of gender; we do so by comparing these practices between the experiences of female and male respondents concerning gender stereotypes and the individual embodiment thereof in academics within research universities in the Netherlands. Our analysis includes interviews with 26 female and male associate professors – thirte…
Precarious careers
The purpose of our research is to understand how postdoctoral researchers (postdocs) at Dutch research universities experience their working conditions, their further career prospects and opportunities, in relation to their mental health and wellbeing. The postdoc population is substantial and growing. Given that their lack of career prospects and invisibility do not coincide with their highly educated status and contribution to research, we diag…

Higher education in extraordinary times

Career mobility from associate to full professor in academia
The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of gender stereotypes in academia by examining the informal aspects of the university as an organisation. We do so by using the concept of ‘micro-political practices related to recruitment and progression in higher education institutions’. To increase our comprehension, we conducted multi-method research that included the IAT test, a vignette study, and in-depth interviews at one univers…
Competition in Science
Hybridity, Coping Mechanisms, and Academic Performance Management
Recent developments in the higher education sectors of the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK concerning accountability and performance measurement in research have resulted in a variety of responses from individual academics. The concept of hybridity enables us to explain these developments over time. Our longitudinal data consisted of 100 interviews in 2007 and 2011. There are more managerial and performance‐oriented measures at the organizational…
All are equal, but some are more equal than others
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate what impact new regimes of management and governance, including new managerialism, have had on perceptions of gender equality at universities in three Western European countries. While in accordance with national laws and EU directives, contemporary current management approaches in universities should, in theory, stimulate equality of opportunities and diminish regimes of inequality, our findings f…
Compliance or pragmatism
Universities throughout Europe have adopted organisational strategies, structures, technologies, management instruments and values that are commonly found in the private sector. While these alleged managerial measures may be considered useful, and have a positive effect on the quality of teaching and research, there is also evidence of detrimental effects on primary tasks. The consequences of such managerial measures were investigated through 48 …
Assessing Cross-National Invariance of the Three-Component Model of Organizational Commitment
This study examined cross-national invariance of Meyer and Allen’s three-component model of organizational commitment using samples of university faculty from six European countries. The analysis revealed strict factorial measurement invariance of affective, continuance, and normative organizational commitment constructs (AC, CC, and NC, respectively). While the samples failed to differ in AC and CC, substantial cross-national differences were fo…

An International Comparison of the Effects of HRM Practices and Organizational Commitment on Quality of Job Performances among European University Employees
The intricate implementation of performance measurement systems
Institutional and organizational theory supports the argument that current features of performance measurement systems (PMS) in public organizations are generally unsuitable for the actual nature of these professional organizations. Longitudinal and cross-sectional studies in the health care and higher education sectors in the Netherlands have shown that, despite external pressures, the implementation of such systems is slower than intended and s…
Symposium on Changing Modes of Governance in Public Sector Organizations
This symposium grew out of the sub‐theme, ‘New Modes of Governance in Public Sector Organizations’, of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) Conference held in Ljubljana in July 2004. Our aim was to provide a forum to discuss the policy and practice and the space between in public sector management and governance within Europe

Market Mechanisms in Education
This article analyses differences in the availability of school choice in The Netherlands, England and Scotland. A 10 variable model is used to determine that the increased availability of choice leads generally to an increased presence of the market mechanism in the three countries. However, the functioning of the market is most obvious in The Netherlands, to a lesser extent in England and even less in Scotland
