Description

  • Content Description: The main purpose of this study was to identify basic characteristics of managing higher education by objectives (HEBO). Six interrelated and interdependent research questions , which reflected other purposes of the study, were established. A sixty-two-statement questionnaire, from the review of MBO literature, was developed to use in the study. Statements were categorized into (1) philosophy of the educational enterprise, (2) identification of institutional goals, (3) specification of objectives, (4) definition of role responsibility, (5) the implementation process, (6) evaluation of organization, and HEBO limitations and requirements. Participants were requested to respond to each statement on a three point Likert scale consisting of "Agree," "Disagree," and "Modifications." Conelusions--(1) Experts and authors approved the characteristics of managing higher education by objectives (HEBO) as proposed in the study. (2) In order to be efficient and effective, an HEBO program should contain a mission statement, clear goals and objectives, well-defined role responsibilities, and also evaluation. (3) The HEBO implementation process requires more than a mere decision to institute such a program; it requires strong leadership, orientation programs , and MBO consultants. (4) Any HEBO model should have as its major purpose the securing of higher performance accountability. (5) In the policy- and decision-making process, the overall constituencies of a higher education should get involved in connection with HEBO implementation.
