The purpose of this study is to
assess the competencies required by
presidents of universities to lead a
Jordanian institution of higher education
in an international society as perceived by
academic administrators and faculty
members chosen randomly from three
universities representative of the
northern, middle, and southern regions of
Jordan. Two hundred fifty-eight survey
packages were mailed and 225 responses
were received (86 academic
administrators and 139 faculty members),
for a response rate of 87%. The results of
the study reveal that four of five
dimensions of international leadership
competencies were rated by academic
administrators and faculty members as
moderately important: International
Culture, Vision, and Mind set;
International Strategic Planning;
International Human Resources; and
International Operations and Structure.
The dimension learning was rated as very
important by administrators and faculty.
Training higher education leaders for the
future and urging them to consider the
forces of internationalization and its
impact on the development of their
institutions were recommendations
resulting from this study.
