Impact of Academic and Non-Academic Service Quality on International Students Satisfaction in Chinese Universities

Satisfied students are easy to retain and perform better in academics. That consequently affects higher educational institutions’ success and reputation. To become a top higher educational institution, every institution tries to provide the best academic facilities and services to its students. However, non-academic services are not given equal importance in academic settings, which could significantly determine students’ satisfaction. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the impact of academic and non-academic service quality on international student satisfaction in China. This study followed a deductive approach and is carried out in a non-contrived setting. The convenience sampling technique was used in the study for data collection. A total of 143 responses from the international students is received through an online survey. Descriptive and Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis techniques were performed for analyzing the variables. The results indicate that both academic and non-academic service quality equally contributes to student satisfaction. The findings of this study reveal that non-academic services aspects are as important as academic services when it comes to affecting student satisfaction. This study highlights the significance of different service quality dimensions for student satisfaction which is sometimes not given equal importance in the educational environment. The trend of the internationalization of education in China is increasing rapidly. The higher educational institutions in China need to acknowledge different aspects of students’ satisfaction to become a top higher-level educational destination for international students.

Internationalization of public administration education in China: International students’ perspective

ABSTRACT The article assesses internationalization of Public Administration education in China based on international students’ perceptions toward forms of the educational institution’s internationalization. Research for the article was quantitatively based on a case study of one of the Chinese institutions of higher learning offering Public Administration education to international students. Data were collected through a survey, based on which statistical analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses. Results suggest a positive and statistically significant correlation between all forms of the educational institution’s internationalization and international students’ approval of international education. A two-step hierarchical multiple regression indicates that global exposure, curriculum design, language of instruction and faculty significantly predict students’ approval of international education, while student support services and research activities do not. The article concludes that China’s Public Administration education is perceived to be international and relevant to the international community despite being rooted in the local context of public administration practice.

The internationalization of higher education with Chinese characteristics: Appadurai's ideas explored

The aim of this paper is to explore Appadurai's ideas of global cultural flows in the context of the internationalization of higher education in China. Studies on the internationalization of higher education have increased with the expansion of international activities on university campuses; however, more theoretical analysis in the field is necessary, especially in less studied and rapidly developing countries such as China. Appadurai's theorization may provide new insights into the field because of its background in the changes transforming international student flows: intensified migration and mass mediation. The research data of the paper consist of previous literature and statistical data. The paper focuses first on analysing the general ideas of Appadurai's model and second on one of the scapes of the model, the ideoscape. The paper suggests that Appadurai's ideas of global cultural flows, when expanded through further research and theorization, provide a heuristic framework for analysing the internationalization of higher education in China. The continuing significance of the nation state and the locality of international actions characterize the internationalization of higher education. Furthermore, the ideoscape of the internationalization of higher education has widened because the volume and the range of activities at universities have expanded.
