Unpacking the response of middle managers in universities towards the institutional complexity
Purpose Although previous studies have highlighted institutional complexity arising from compatible or incompatible logics, limited research has explored the complexity caused by multiple structural logics, particularly in the higher education. This study delves into the institutional complexity stemming from the interplay between hierarchy and network logics within the university. Additionally, it investigates the response strategy employed by m…
How Supervisor–Student Interactions Matter for Leadership Education
Leadership education in higher education has been extensively studied; however, the long‐term influence of the supervisor–student interactions in shaping leadership development remains insufficiently understood, particularly within non‐Western academic contexts. To address this gap, the current study investigates how leadership development is cultivated through shīmén, a traditional Chinese academic supervision network, and proposes a leadership …
From Inherited Learning to Dual‐Stage Learning
Education has long been a cornerstone of societal development, a structured system designed to transmit knowledge, foster growth, and prepare individuals for societal roles (Vega Chica & Valle Lituma, 2024). However, the traditional knowledge‐transmission‐based model faces big challenges in an era with rapid technological advancements (Li et al., 2024), particularly in artificial intelligence (AI). This perspective article discusses the foundatio…

Double transitions of Chinese students in the '2 + 2' articulation program under the influence of field coupling and social capital
In the ‘2 + 2’ articulation program, Chinese students encounter many challenges in academic study and sociocultural life. There is debate regarding their intercultural transition experiences – whether they undergo acculturation, adhering to the home/original culture or adapting to the host/new culture, or remain in between the home/original and host/new culture in a ‘third space’? Existing research refers to numerous institutional and individual …
Employability Is a Journey
This paper aims to conceptualise processual employability with identity theory to reflect the amorphous and developmental nature of employability. Through literature review, we propose a model demonstrating how the career identity emergence process is linked with processual employability behaviour through four stages of identity change: Identity Enactment, Identity Validation, Identity Construction, and Identity Exploration. Each stage is driven …

The Paradigmatic Crises in China’s Minzu Studies
The field of minzu 民族 studies is currently in a state of disarray. This article proposes to discuss three paradigmatic crises—the one-dimensional interpretation, problematization, and de-ethnicization of the term minzu —from the perspective of human development. Although the meaning of minzu is, as this article argues, ambiguous, it has mostly been reduced to its political and ideological meaning. To solely rely on this one-dimensional interpreta…
Willingness to Self-Isolate When Facing a Pandemic Risk
Infected people are isolated to minimize the spread of pandemic diseases. Therefore, the factors related to self-isolation (SI) should not be neglected, and it is important to investigate the factors leading the infected (or possibly infected) people to choose to self-isolate. In this paper, we tried to show that the theory of planned behavior provides a useful conceptual framework for SI when facing a pandemic risk, and a regression method with …
