Politics and politically opriented motives, negative competition, insuecurity, endoctrination wuthout formal and macro knowl3edge and know how ....as well as centralizing ones throughts and being stuck in one place for years thinking the learned university culture is teh sole ap[roach that exists in academic....all these are posionous variables that can udnermine the future of an acdemic context if that context does not want to accomdoate changes, ongoing cganges in academci conatexts and practices as well as various contaextual, exatra academicn needs ( stdunets profiles/needs/ work place needs...etc)....if none of these, new faculty or frehs blood in teh system wil foind hard - imposisble- to breath and unleash their potential.
That kind of work atmosphjere rfelct lack of leadership that stresses less on errors, punitive methods, unnecessary warnings, conistent policing, factory models of shifts as if everbody should immitate teh shift of adminsitrators ( 9 to 5 shift), while in acadmeia , faculty do not need to abide by that shift pattern. Administarors get paid additional stripends or fees to do so, but not faculty.
these type of work culture do everthing to ' keep facultu busy' to the point ofe xploiting them. Where on earth faculty do more than 2 to maximally three inivilation shifts in teh GCC region or else?? Usuyally, admin clerks do these invigilation tasks or faculty or else get paid to do so.
