Effective leadership and management influence the institution's progress, especially in higher education. However, e-leadership and effective university management have not been fully maximized in higher education. This study aims to determine the general overview of e-leadership, effective university management, and e-leadership design…

The goal of this study was to build knowledge about the perspectives of library leaders who have experience with a responsibility center management (RCM) budget model and how the model guides library allocations and planning. The study also sought to provide advice to other library leaders whose institutions may consider adopting an RCM budget…

Strong project management is increasingly recognised as essential to achieve impactful outcomes in externally-funded research projects hosted in Higher Education Institutes (HEIs). However, the characteristics of research project management, and how it differs from project management in other environments, have not been sufficiently explored. Key…

This systematic review explores effective leadership mechanisms for managing cultural diversity in universities, aiming to identify key practices that foster a positive and inclusive academic environment. A systematic review methodology was used to search electronic databases and Google Scholar, resulting in the inclusion of 22 studies published…
