2003年，印度尼西亚高等教育总局启动了一项新战略，旨在提高高等教育的质量、入学机会和公平性。人们预计，为高等教育机构提供自治地位将使它们能够管理自己的组织和收入来源，从而更有效地开展学术活动。本文讨论了印度尼西亚东部八所公立大学和理工学院的工作人员如何理解更大自治权的发展。该研究调查了迈向更大自主权的认知理由，以及机构和个人层面预期面临的主要挑战和障碍。该研究定位在组织嵌入框架内，确定了容易接受变革的三个障碍：集中控制的历史、特定的制度“文化”以及地方所有权问题。因此，本文认为，本案中的自主权存在模糊性；它同时被视为威胁（失业、新的工作要求、领导力）和赋权（最终能够设定自己的机构目标）。
In 2003 the Indonesian Directorate General of Higher Education launched a new strategy with the aim of improving quality, access, and equity in higher education. It was anticipated that providing higher education institutions with an autonomous status would enable them to manage their own organization and sources of income leading to more efficient and effective implementation of academic activities. This article discusses how staff members of eight public universities and polytechnics in Eastern Indonesia make sense of developments towards greater autonomy. The research investigated the perceived rationale for the move towards greater autonomy, and the main challenges and obstacles expected at an institutional and personal level. Positioned within an organizational embeddedness framework, the research identifies three impediments for a readily acceptance of the change: a history of centralized control, a specific institutional “culture”, and questions of local ownership. Consequently the article argues that autonomy in this case is met with ambiguity; it is simultaneously perceived as threatening (job loss, new job requirements, leadership) and as empowering (finally being able to set own institutional objectives).
