Notes

Abstract: Through the lens of complexity theory and by utilizing the methodological framework
set forth in Gander’s 1999 article regarding internal and external organizational elements of
administrative intensity, this secondary data analysis study linked the internal organizational
elements of administrative intensity to institutional results as evidenced by higher education student
retention and graduation rates. Representing institutional investments, efforts, and outcomes
from 2004 to 2014, three years of data reporting were gathered from the Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data Set (IPEDS) and were then cleaned per secondary data analysis techniques. Using
canonical correlation analysis, the internal elements of administrative intensity were correlated with
student retention and success. Findings indicate the relationships of internal elements of higher
education institutions on student retention and success, which was measured by four-year, six-year,
and eight-year graduation rates. The discussion includes education policy implications.
