The Politics of Higher Education: University President Ideology and External Networking
利用2012年美国大学校长调查数据，研究了校长意识形态如何影响其与政治决策者的外部网络建设行为，发现州政策制定者的意识形态会调节这一影响。
Abstract While the importance of networking is increasingly recognized by practitioners and scholars alike, little is known about why significant variance is observed in how often and with whom organizational leaders network. Further, while we know that political ideology plays a critical role in shaping decision making within public organizations, current models of networking have largely failed to consider the importance of ideology in driving networking efforts. Using data from a 2012 survey of U.S. university presidents and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, this article explores the role that president ideology plays in shaping networking behavior with political principals. Findings suggest that the effect of ideology on external networking efforts is moderated by state policy maker ideology .
