- Description
- Against a landscape of emerging higher education systems in Confucian countries, the small special administrative region of China, Macau, provides the context for a case study of organisational climate in a higher education institution prior to changing status from a polytechnic to a university. The purpose of the research is to compare the organisational climate within this institution, referred to as the Sino-Portuguese Institute (SPI), with that of Australian universities. Employing a climate measurement instrument developed in Australia and applied to 17 universities regularly over the past decade, a survey of all permanent staff at SPI was undertaken in September 2010. The results demonstrate significantly more positive work/life balance, workload and wellness factors at SPI as compared to Australian universities.
