Behavior of Staff and Lecturers from the Perspective of Good University Governance in The City of Makassar

Abstract

Using the framework of Good University Governance (GUG), this study examines the actions of faculty and staff in Makassar's institutions with an emphasis on involvement, accountability, and openness. A structured questionnaire was used in the study to collect 400 participants' perceptions using a cross-sectional quantitative methodology. Positive views of accountability and transparency were found through descriptive statistics, which also showed that there was a strong system of responsibility and accountability, prompt action taken to address wrongdoing, and clear communication of policies and decisions. Notwithstanding, many nuances were noted, specifically regarding the transparency of decision-making procedures and the requirement for heightened student involvement. The results add to our understanding of Makassar's university governance and provide information for focused interventions and enhancements. The report emphasizes how crucial it is to promote an inclusive and open communication culture in order to align actions that align with the principles of good university governance, eventually improving the region's educational institutions' overall efficacy.
