| dc.description.abstract | This study sought to investigate the practices and relationships between servant leadership, good governance, institutional health and effectiveness of public universities. The research questions were: To what extent do leaders perform servant leadership, good governance, institutional health and effectiveness? How do staffs describe the existing practices of servant leadership, good governance, institutional health and effectiveness in their respective institutions? Is there statistically significant mean difference between the faculty and students? Is there statistically significant mean difference among leaders, faculty and students regarding the practices of the variables in their respective institutions? Is there statistically significant relationship between the variables? What is the combined effect of servant leadership, good governance and institutional health on institutional effectiveness? The researcher employed mixed methods research approach of explanatory sequential design. A total of 737 participants were involved. Closed-ended questionnaires, semistructured interviews and observation of selected documents were used to gather data. The mean, standard deviations, an independent samples t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and multiple regressions were employed for data analyses. Hence, the study came up with four major findings. First, the computed mean values portrayed ‘moderate’ implementations of the variables in sample universities. And these are partly in agreement with the qualitative results. Secondly, the mean difference between the faculty and students at BDU found not statistically significant; but the mean differences were statistically significant both at DTU and DBU. The ANOVA results also showed not statistically significant differences of the mean among leaders, faculty and students at BDU; but statistically significant both at DTU and DBU. Thirdly, Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient revealed statistically significant and strong positive relationships between the variables. Fourthly, the coefficient of determination of servant leadership, good governance and institutional health showed statistically significant accounts on the variance of institutional effectiveness. Thus, the findings may help leaders and practitioners aware about the extent of the implementations of the variables in their own context and instigate them for enhanced performances. On top of this, leaders and practitioners may be cognizant of the positive contributions of servant leadership, good governance and institutional health to ensure institutional effectiveness in universities. In the meantime, such practices and contributions may add values for university leadership and governance system. Therefore, so as to sustain and act as exemplar in leadership, governance and in creating healthy as well as productive institutions, leaders in universities are recommended to instate servant leadership and equip themselves and others with the required knowledge and skills of such leadership philosophy, demonstrate down-to-earth practices on good governance and create healthy working environments in their contexts. This may also help record better performances and ensure institutional effectiveness. In addition, researchers are recommended to conduct longitudinal studies and test long-term correlations and causality between servant leadership, good governance, institutional health and effectiveness. Consequently, they may come up with better insights and results that can add values for the existing body of knowledge and practices. | en_US |
