Leadership and Work Efficiency at the Private Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

          This academic article aimed to present a conceptual framework on leadership and work efficiency at the private educational institutions. Specifically, it focused on the context of private higher education institutions, or private universities, as the large and highly complex organizations. Executives at these institutions had to have a clear vision and goals, be creative and innovative, and be capable of proactively applying new innovations for their operations. They also needed to be flexible in their management and treat their subordinates fairly. Transformational leadership was highlighted as a critical factor in building confidence among personnel, which in turn impacted on work efficiency. This included quality and accuracy of work, meeting quantitative targets, efficient time management, and effective cost control. All of these factors ultimately contributed to the organization's sustainable success.
