A Conversation about "Silence to Stewardship: Faculty Responses to Administrative Incompetence"

This conversation explores the article titled "From Silence to Stewardship: Business Faculty Responses to Administrative Incompetence," which appears in the Human Capital Leadership Review. The central theme of the scholarly work is the paradoxical passivity of business management faculty within U.S. higher education, who often fail to resist or effectively critique managerialism and poor administrative practices, even though these issues contradict the management principles they teach. The author argues that this complacency is rooted in professional identities that prioritize teaching and research over applying expertise to their own institutions' organizational challenges. The essay extensively explores the nature of academic managerialism, the resulting organizational consequences, and proposes evidence-based responses, emphasizing that business faculty must adopt new identities as "institutional stewards" to improve administrative competence and governance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
