Personel visions of the rectors in the Turkish universities for the new millenium
(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2001-04-01) Erçetin, Şule Ş.
Vision is an important dimension in leadership characteristics of university administrators for the universities of the 21st. Century. Vision is important because it serves as a guide of change for the university administrators, faculty, students and it supports the staff. It helps establish the climate for change because expectations and purposes are clear and understandable. This important dimension expresses a two-phased process, the development of personal and organizational visions. Our knowledge about the extent of university administrator’s vision at present is insufficient. In this study, the personal phase of the vision development process was performed and the personal vision’s extent of the university administrators was discussed related with the new and changed roles of the universities and the university administrators for the 21st. century. The data were collected from 67 rectors in Turkish universities. The evaluations of the rectors about their proficiencies, self-development fields, leadership styles, professional values and universities were determined. The rectors with personal visions have a very important potential to lead the changes of the 21st century.
