变革型领导理论视域下蔡元培北大改革的内在逻辑和实践路径

The Intrinsic Logic and Practical Path of Cai Yuanpei’s Reformat Peking University Under the Transformational Leadership Theory

在蔡元培入主北京大学之前,北京大学校政腐败、制度混乱、学生求官心切、学术氛围淡薄、封建文化泛滥。蔡元培下定决心到北京大学任职,并进行了全面改革。变革型领导理论视域下蔡元培的北京大学改革实践包括:凸显领导魅力,塑造北京大学的美好愿景;倡导智能启发,改变教员的心智模式;组建学生社团,促进学生个性化发展;重视激发鼓舞,赋予教授民主治校的权利等。通过蔡元培积极稳步的改革,北京大学从“升官发财之阶梯”成功转变为“研究学问之场所”,并对当今高等教育改革和发展有一定借鉴价值。

Before Cai Yuanpei took over as the president of Peking University,this university was plagued by corruption,chaotic administrative systems,students with a strong desire for official positions,lack of academic atmosphere,and prevalent feudal culture.Then,Cai Yuanpei resolved to take up the position at Peking University and carried out comprehensive reforms.The reform of Peking University under the transformational leadership theory includes highlighting the leadership charm to the beautiful vision of Peking University;advocating intellectual stimulation to change the mindset of teachers;building the associations to enhance personalized development of students;and valuing stimulation and inspiration to empower professors with the right to democratically govern the university etc.Cai Yuanpei steadily and actively advanced the reform of Peking University,successfully transforming it from“a ladder for promotion and wealth”to“a place for academic research”,and having reference value for the current higher education.
