Leadership and faculty engagement in a hybrid environmentl
Abstract
We present a conceptual proposal of leadership on faculty engagement in a hybrid environment as higher education institutions (HEI) adjust to the post-pandemic remote working option. Due to the hierarchical organisational structure of HEIs and the long-term employment with tenure, identifying leadership behaviours attenuate actions that further push faculty towards their autonomous inclination, which results in greater disengagement with the institution. We provide (1) an analysis of ways in which recognised forms of leadership further exacerbate faculty disengagement in a remote environment and present (2) a conceptual framework of emerging forms of leadership resulting from the remote environment.
