The Crisis in Foundational Studies and the Necessity of a Liberal Arts and Sciences College(LASC)

This paper addresses the inherent contradiction in universities since their inception, which involves the harmonization of discourse between liberal arts and specialized education and the creation of intellectuals with a blend of both general and specialized knowledge. Instead of resorting to traditional liberal arts approaches, this paper proposes a solution to the crisis in foundational studies from the perspective of creating a new paradigm known as “New Liberal Arts,” overcoming the internal contradictions fundamentally present in universities. Alongside this perspective, this paper reexamines the importance of foundational studies in today's context, taking into consideration the current crisis in Korean universities.

Transformational Leadership Unleashed: Elevating Faculty Satisfaction through Psychological Capital

This study investigates the influence of transformational leadership on job satisfaction, with a specific focus on the mediating role of psychological capital in private universities in Guangxi. The main hypotheses are that transformational leadership directly affects job satisfaction and that psychological capital partially mediates this relationship. Participants included 460 teachers from 12 private universities in Guangxi, China, selected by multi-stage sampling. The research design is quantitative, employing structured questionnaires. Instruments used include validated scales for transformational leadership, psychological capital, and job satisfaction, all measured on a 5-point Likert scale. The findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly predicts job satisfaction, and psychological capital also significantly predicts job satisfaction while mediating the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction. These results align with earlier research, confirming the positive impact of transformational leadership and psychological capital on job satisfaction. The study concludes that university administrators should develop transformational leadership skills and foster psychological capital among teachers to enhance job satisfaction and teaching quality. This offers practical guidance for the management and reform of private colleges and universities in Guangxi, with implications for future research to explore additional mediators or moderators and employ longitudinal designs to further understand these relationships.

Entrepreneurial universities and integrated sustainability for the knowledge-based economy: self-perception and some structural challenges in the Gulf region

Innovation and the promotion of entrepreneurship are requirements of the transition towards knowledge-based economies. Universities are assigned a key role in advancing entrepreneurship through the restructuring of teaching, research, and governance with an emphasis on innovation and sustainability. In the Gulf region, universities are increasingly adopting reforms aimed at redefining their missions towards entrepreneurial education. This study examines the impact of university-based innovation and entrepreneurial models on progressing towards knowledge-based economies, with Qatar University serving as a case study. It qualitatively assesses recent university reforms and contextualizes these reforms within limitations in the national context and the political economy of the rentier states in the Gulf. The findings suggest that for Gulf region universities to effectively become entrepreneurial and support sustainable development, they must cultivate an entrepreneurial culture and mindset. This requires structural and cultural shifts that resonate with national context, institutional values, and the global sustainability goals. The study indicates that a top-down approach to developing entrepreneurial universities is less effective. It advocates for policies and incentives that motivate universities to become entrepreneurial. Ultimately, the study’s insights aim to guide policymaking to develop knowledge economy frameworks in Qatar towards a sustainable future.
