Trente-huit articles sur l’administration de l’enseignement supérieur publiés par la Revue entre 1971 et 2020 ont été examinés pour caractériser la manière dont ce sujet a été étudié et théorisé durant cette période. Dans l’ensemble, le corpus de publications de la Revue, de sa naissance à aujourd’hui, dresse un portrait nuancé de l’administration de l’enseignementsupérieur, les administratrices et administrateurs y apparaissant à la fois puissants et impuissants. L’article propose des pistes de réflexion et d’investigation, et présente les implications de ses résultats pour les éditeurs, éditrices, évaluateurs,évaluatrices, auteurs et auteures de la Revue.  \nMots-clés : leadership, gestion, administration, revue, enseignement supérieur  \nIntroduction  \nThe Canadian Journal of Higher Education is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. During this period, the Canadian higher education system has experienced deep transformations. It has grown in size and complexity (Fisher et al. , 2014), while provincial governments have reframedits purpose and adjusted their support accordingly (Jones et al. , 2011) . As a result, its funding has ebbed and flowed unpredictably (Fisher et al. , 2014) and its  \nregulatory framework has grown more rigid and complex (Axelrod et al. , 2013) . In line with these transformations, the practice of administration—here understood as theset of formal and informal activities, such as management and leadership, related to running an organization (Mintzberg, 2009), and the work of administrators, that is individuals granted positional power to perform these activities (Ouimet, 2008)—has also changed (Lavigne & Sá, 2021) .  \nIn today’s higher education systems, administrators  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 51:3 (2022)   \nare expected to exercise their authority and leadership to shape their institutions (Middlehurst, 1997), but to do so collegially (Bryman, 2007) and reluctantly (Lumby, 2019) . They require a thorough understanding of their institutions’ purpose (Gioia & Thomas, 1996) and processes (Bensimon, 1989; Bolman & Deal, 1991), anda broad set of problem-solving approaches (Bolman & Deal, 1991; Wepner et al. , 2008) . Administrators are also expected to interface with external stakeholders. They shape how their institutions are understood (Montez et al. , 2002) and, in turn, shape how these expectations are interpreted, translated, and conciliated internally (Davis et al. , 2016) .  \nAs such, higher education administration matters, at least sufficiently to warrant studying who these administrators are, what ","cbCaigeJxnJdRKFK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigeJxnJdRKFK","pdf",172648,12,"English","# Introduction\n# Methods\n# Results and Discussion\n# Implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the article?\",\"answer\":\"The article measures and characterizes research on higher education administration published in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education over its first 50 years.\"},{\"question\":\"Which articles and time period does the study examine?\",\"answer\":\"The study reviews 38 articles on higher education administration published between 1971 and 2020.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings suggest about administrators in the journal’s research?\",\"answer\":\"The body of work presents a nuanced portrait in which administrators appear simultaneously powerless and powerful.\"}]","Examining 50 Years of Research on Administration in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education - Abstract | PDF",1792084072]
