Conflict and Adjustment between Academic Power and Administrative Power in the Applied Universities—Based on the Analysis of Pierre Bourdieu's Field Theory
Academic power and administrative power are two main forms of power existing in the internal governance of applied universities.These powers are mutually unified and interacted,playing an important roles in fulfilling the mission of the school and promoting its development with varying degrees of conflicts in the cognition of power subjects,the rules of power operation,and the boundaries of power functions,which brings about certain influence on the improvement of school governance capacity and performance.The inducement may lie in three aspects:the complexity and diversity of field,the stock and structure of capital,and the continuation and influence of habitus.From the perspective of field theory,optimizing the field rules,increasing the capital accumulation,and promoting habitus transformation should be a long-term and feasible solution adjustment to apply university academic power and administrative power conflict.Practical measures include further improving the modern university system,optimizing the allocation of resources,reshaping the organizational culture of schools.
