Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issues related to management of public-sector colleges in District Khairpur, Sindh in a new light and in a new perspective of the paper, which is Administrative Leadership, Resource Mobilization and College Climate. This paper develops an alternative perspective on the principal as an institutional manager with boundary spanning attributes, connecting academic planning, staff coordination, budgeting, community trust and student supportive environment. The study is based on Data generated from Seminar Slides of descriptive mixed method study, which was conducted on eight principals, eighty lecturers and two hundred parents of public sector colleges of Khairpur. The original data were collected using questionnaires and principal interviews, which were validated by expert and coded in SPSS by frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation, and the reliability coefficient was found to be Cronbach's alpha 0.79. The results showed that principals were seen favorably in the routine management of the school. Agreement was highest for planning learning activities (93.97%; M = 4.11), staffing demands (92.50%; M = 4.20), directing staff toward punctuality (91.74%; M = 3.99), games and sports (90.55%; M = 3.64), and organizing responsibilities (88.58%; M = 4.10). The lowest level of performance was in the boundary/resource governance areas, particularly for these coordination (63.21%, M = 3.88) and budgeting (86.25%, M = 3.55) issues. Institutional constraints that were mentioned repeatedly in the qualitative responses were transport, computer laboratories, science laboratories, furniture, and staff shortages, as well as drinking water. The paper suggests a Resource-Mobilization and College Climate Framework to evaluate principal effectiveness based on managerial competence, stakeholder involvement and resource advocacy. It concludes that the relative strength of internal routines needs to be enhanced by principals of Khairpur while there is a need to strengthen their autonomy, training and systemic support so that principals can transform management into sustainable college improvement in academic, administrative, social, infrastructural and equity-related aspects of college performance in the district.
