The Organizational Autonomy of Greek Universities: An Attempt at Quantification
Stamelos, George; Lambropoulos, Haris; Bousiou, Ourania
Tertiary Education and Management, v26 n2 p151-169 Jun 2020
Both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the degree of organizational autonomy of Greek universities, during the period of the implementation of Law 4009/11, is attempted. The necessity of such a study is very important and fruitful for the Greek universities, since in the period of the last research (2017) of the European Union Association (EUA) concerning university autonomy, Greece did not provide the required data to EUA and was not included in the countries studied. Sources regarding the measurement of the degree of university autonomy in Greece were based on the methodology and results that emerged from the EUA researches (2007 & 2017), as well as on the review of the literature and analysis of the data that emerged from the legislation applied by the universities in Greece, during the corresponding period. The quantification of organizational autonomy provided the score and rank of Greek universities relative to other European universities, which is found to be quite low. Therefore, we make proposals for a realistic, for Greek data, increase in organizational autonomy. The aim is to upgrade the services provided by institutions and to respond to the modern requirements of a globalized society and market.
