Drawing on two international research projects, Reconstructing
Relationships in Higher Education: Challenging Agendas looks behind
formal organisational structures and workforce patterns to consider
the significance of relationships, particularly at local and
informal levels, for the aspirations and motivations of academic
faculty. In practice, and day-to-day, such relationships can
overlay formal reporting lines and therefore inform, to a greater
or lesser extent, the overall relationship between individuals and
institutions. As a result, from an institutional point of view,
relationships may be a critical factor in the realisation of
strategy, and can in practice have a disproportionate effect, both
positively and negatively. However, little attention has been paid
to the role that they play in understanding the interface between
individuals and institutions at a time of ongoing diversification
of the workforce. For instance, they may provide space, which in
turn may be implicit and discretionary, in which negotiation and
influence can occur. In this context, Reconstructing Relationships
in Higher Education also reviews ways in which institutions are
responding to more agentic approaches by academic faculty,
particularly younger cohorts, and the significance of local
managers, mentors and academic networks in supporting individuals
and promoting career development. The text, which examines the
dynamics of working relationships at local and institutional level,
will be of interest to senior management teams, practising managers
at all levels, academic faculty, and researchers in the field of
higher education.
