Abstract
This study examines the structural dimensions of Market Orientation (MO)—formalization, departmentalization, and centralization—and their impact on Innovation Capability (IC) and Quality Assurance (QA) in Pakistani higher education institutions (HEIs). Understanding the interplay between MO, IC, and QA is critical for enhancing institutional performance and aligning HEIs with global standards. Data were collected from 350 respondents, including 190 from private and 160 from public universities, using a structured questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to assess the direct and indirect relationships among the variables in PLS-SEM. The findings indicate that MO significantly influences IC and QA, with private universities demonstrating stronger mediating effects of IC due to their agile structures and competitive orientation. In contrast, public universities face bureaucratic challenges limiting innovation. The study recommends reducing centralization in public universities and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration while encouraging private universities to sustain their innovation-driven strategies. These insights support policymakers in pursuing structural reforms for sustainable development.
