Adaptive University Performance pada Perguruan Tinggi Negeri Berbadan Hukum di Indonesia

Abstract

In response to the rapid changes in higher education, State Universities with Legal Entity (PTN-BH) status in Indonesia continue to exhibit a gap in comprehending the primary factors contributing to adaptive university performance, particularly in the context of leadership, academic networking, and individual characteristics within the university environment. This study aims to analyze the influence of supportive leadership, social networking capabilities, and openness to experience on adaptive university performance, with collaborative experiential learning as a mediating variable and cultural intelligence as a moderating variable. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method to collect data from 340 deans across 21 PTN-BH in Indonesia, with a final sample of 183 respondents selected using proportionate random sampling. Data were processed using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), incorporating Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) to identify key influencing factors that remain underutilized, as well as Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) to compare the effects across PTN-BH in Java and non-Java regions. The results revealed that in order to improve collaborative learning experience within PTN-BH, it is required to have a good leader support, social networks capabilities, and openness to new experience. In addition, the dean's openness to experience is key to improving adaptive performance in the PTN-BH environment. This research shows there is no mediating role of collaborative learning experience. Furthermore, Cultural intelligence could not improve the adaptive performance of PTN-BH overall. However, group analysis highlights notable distinctions. For PTN-BH institutions located on Java Island, leadership support, networking skills, and cultural intelligence training play a more critical role in driving adaptive performance. In contrast, PTN-BH institutions outside Java would benefit more from increasing access to global learning and collaboration opportunities, such as through expanded faculty and student exchange programs with international or more advanced domestic universities.
