建设可持续发展的大学需要利益相关者之间的参与式管理和协作。本研究将层次分析法和网络过程（AHP/ANP）与统计分析相结合，提出了一个可在高等教育机构中使用的框架，将利益相关者的偏好纳入战略决策。通过对代表主要内部利益相关者群体的 30 名参与者进行调查，将拟议的框架应用于土耳其的一所私立大学作为案例研究。目前的研究通过添加涉及不同利益相关者样本的统计分析部分来扩展文献，而以前 AHP/ANP 在高等教育中的应用涉及单个或几个决策者。该调查显示了利益相关者在可持续发展绩效指标和一系列投资项目方面的优先事项，以及它们在低、中和高财务约束下如何变化。研究发现，虽然利益相关者对可持续发展有不同的看法，但通常他们最优先考虑的是教学，其次是研究。此外，尽管利益相关者在关注服务和社会责任时高度重视环境举措，但他们并不认为此类投资有利可图。最后，随着财务约束程度的增加，“高知名度”项目似乎获得优先考虑。
Building sustainable universities calls for participative management and collaboration among stakeholders. Combining analytic hierarchy and network processes (AHP/ANP) with statistical analysis, this research proposes a framework that can be used in higher education institutions for integrating stakeholder preferences into strategic decisions. The proposed framework is applied to a private university in Turkey as a case study through a survey of 30 participants, representing key internal stakeholder groups. The present research extends the literature by adding a statistical analysis component involving a diverse sample of stakeholders, while previous applications of AHP/ANP in higher education involve a single or a few decision makers. The survey demonstrates stakeholder priorities with respect to sustainability performance indicators and a set of investment projects as well as how they change under low, medium and high financial constraints. The study finds that, while stakeholders have varying opinions regarding sustainable development, generally their highest priority is teaching, followed closely by research. Further, although stakeholders assign a high priority to environmental initiatives when the concern is service and social responsibility, they do not consider such investments profitable. Lastly, it appears that “high visibility” projects gain priority as the level of financial constraint increases.
