COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AFFECTING EFFECTIVE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT AT RAJABHAT UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Abstract— In the dynamic realm of higher education, the role of executive leadership is instrumental in shaping the work environment and personnel management practices within academic institutions. This study explores the key components of executive leadership and their impact on effective personnel management at Rajabhat University. A mixed-methods research design is employed, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The survey gathers perceptions from faculty and staff regarding executive leadership components, while interviews with key leaders provide qualitative insights. The study identifies gaps in visionary leadership communication, inclusive governance implementation, alignment of strategic decision-making, integration of ethical leadership, team-building strategies, employee well-being initiatives, strategic use of technology, and innovation in academic practices. These gaps present opportunities for improvement in leadership practices at Rajabhat University. The implications of addressing these gaps extend beyond immediate improvements in personnel management. A positive and inclusive workplace culture contributes to higher faculty and staff satisfaction, increased productivity, and the university's overall success in fulfilling its educational mission.
