ENHANCING THE MECHANISMS FOR SELECTING UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERS IN UZBEKISTAN BASED ON GLOBAL BEST PRACTICES
Abstract
The selection of administrative leaders in higher education institutions (HEIs) is a crucial factor influencing institutional effectiveness. This research examines international best practices in selecting university leaders and proposes recommendations for Uzbekistan’s higher education system. The study analyzes mechanisms that ensure transparency, efficiency, and competence in leadership selection. Findings suggest that implementing a competitive selection process, competency-based evaluation systems, and leadership preparation programs can enhance the effectiveness of university governance.
