Organizational Tensions of Cross-border Joint-universities in China:An Institutional Perspective
The increasing numbers of cross-border joint-universities have demonstrated the deepening of educational globalization.This research examines the interaction between cross-border joint-universities and their institutional environments in mainland China,by using institutional theories in organizational sociology and qualitative research methods.It is found that five pairs of organizational tensions have emerged,which are specifically tensions between organizational cooperation and conflicts,between educational internationalization and localization,between government support and university autonomy,between parental participation and students'independence,and between their self-identification and social recognition.The organizational tensions are the result of various interactions among multiple institutional logics.
