Hybrid Academic Leadership: Model Kepemimpinan Pendidikan dalam Ekosistem Digital dan Disrupsi Global

Introduction

Hybrid academic leadership: model kepemimpinan pendidikan dalam ekosistem digital dan disrupsi global. Temukan model kepemimpinan akademik hibrida untuk pendidikan tinggi di era digital & disrupsi global. Integrasi dimensi transformatif, digital, kolaboratif, adaptif, & strategis.

Abstract

Transformasi digital dan disrupsi global telah mengubah secara fundamental lanskap pendidikan tinggi, menuntut model kepemimpinan akademik yang mampu beroperasi secara efektif dalam ekosistem yang semakin kompleks dan tidak pasti. Penelitian ini mengembangkan konsep hybrid academic leadership sebagai model kepemimpinan pendidikan yang mengintegrasikan dimensi transformatif, digital, kolaboratif, adaptif, dan strategis dalam ekosistem digital dan disrupsi global. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-analitis dan kerangka analisis multidimensi, penelitian ini mengembangkan model transformasi berfase empat yakni asessment, pengembangan, implementasi, dan institusionalisasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa hybrid academic leadership menuntut pergeseran dari paradigma hierarkis-tradisional menuju paradigma jaringan-adaptif yang mampu mengoordinasikan kepemimpinan tatap muka dan digital secara simultan. Framework yang dikembangkan mengidentifikasi lima dimensi integratif dengan indikator terukur untuk menilai kompetensi kepemimpinan hibrida. Studi kasus terhadap tiga institusi pendidikan tinggi menunjukkan variasi signifikan dalam pengembangan kepemimpinan hibrida. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pengembangan program pembinaan kepemimpinan hibrida, penguatan infrastruktur digital-kepemimpinan, dan pembangunan ekosistem pembelajaran organisasi sebagai strategi transformasi kepemimpinan akademik kontemporer

Review

This paper presents a timely and highly relevant conceptualization of "hybrid academic leadership," addressing the profound impact of digital transformation and global disruption on higher education. The authors adeptly frame the necessity for a new leadership paradigm capable of navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain ecosystem. By proposing a model that integrates transformative, digital, collaborative, adaptive, and strategic dimensions, the research offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the multifaceted demands on contemporary academic leaders. This initial conceptualization is a valuable contribution, providing a much-needed theoretical lens through which to examine and develop leadership capabilities in the current educational landscape. The methodological approach, described as qualitative-analytical with a multidimensional framework, appears robust for developing such a complex model. The four-phase transformation model (assessment, development, implementation, and institutionalization) provides a practical roadmap for institutions seeking to foster hybrid leadership. A key finding, the shift from a hierarchical-traditional to a networked-adaptive paradigm, underscores the fundamental change required, emphasizing the critical ability to simultaneously coordinate both face-to-face and digital leadership. Furthermore, the development of a framework identifying five integrative dimensions with measurable indicators offers concrete tools for evaluating leadership competencies, supported by initial insights from case studies across three higher education institutions. The practical implications and recommendations arising from this study are particularly compelling for practitioners and policymakers. The call for developing targeted hybrid leadership training programs, strengthening digital infrastructure to support leadership functions, and cultivating organizational learning ecosystems provides actionable strategies for institutional transformation. This research not only diagnoses a critical challenge but also offers a pathway forward for higher education institutions to develop agile, effective leadership capable of thriving amidst ongoing digital evolution and global change. The paper lays a strong foundation for further empirical investigation and practical application.
