Examining the Effect of Innovative Behavior, and the Role of Contingency Plan on HEI's Effective Teaching

Abstract

Purpose: Academics often underestimate the importance of having an Academic Contingency Plan (ACP) during crises, which can lead to failure in achieving institutional innovation objectives. Despite extensive research, the role of an ACP is not fully understood in higher education. To gain a comprehensive understanding, it is crucial to analyze the significance of integrating contingency plans into the strategic plan of higher education.   Design/methodology/approach: This study involved the use of 101 lecturers from 5 universities in Indonesia as respondents. An online questionnaire using a Likert Scale was used for data collection, which was analyzed using Smart PLS.   Findings: The existing research gap in academic collaborative culture about innovative behavior in HEIis is resolved by testing the role of the Academic Contingency Plan.   Research limitations/implications: The study suggests that ACP should be an integral component of an organization's strategic plan, which should be formulated within the organization. Effective teaching objectives can be achieved through the active participation of all stakeholders in the implementation of knowledge-based education.   Originality/value: This study is expected to contribute to the academic community by providing a comprehensive understanding of ACP in higher education. It aims to facilitate the achievement of academic targets through the implementation of a well-established plan. The value of this study lies in its potential to enhance the clarity of knowledge in this area and to provide practical insights for academic institutions.
