University Governance in the Legal Entrepreneurship of Intellectual Capital Around the Implementation of the SDGs

Abstract

Aim. The study's objective is to compare a theoretical model of university governance in the COVID-19 era. Since the literature consulted warns of the pandemic's impact on university governance, the factor structure was confirmed. Method. An exploratory, cross-sectional, and correlational study was carried out with a sample of 180 administrators, teachers, and students from a university in central Mexico selected for their participation in the social service system and professional practices in community health institutions. The instrument was evaluated using the Delphi technique in three phases: qualifying, comparative, and reiterative- reconsidered. The University Governance Scale was applied via Zoom session. The data were captured in Excel and processed in JASP. Reliability, validity, adjustment, and residual coefficients were estimated to contrast hypotheses. Results. The three-factor structure was corroborated: identity, reputation, and image. Although the first factor explained the highest percentage of variance, only 12 of 18 indicators correlated with its factors. Conclusions. The study's contribution lies in contrasting the university governance model in a scenario of exposure to COVID-19. Still, the study's limit lies in the non-generalization of the results to the university community.
