Having worked in Professional Service Units (PSU's) since 2015, I have been struck by the dedication and commitment of my colleagues to their work and to the student experience. When I was introduced to alternative perspectives of leadership, I combined both passions to formulate a research proposal for doctoral study. I explore, through a followership lens, the experiences of PSU staff during leadership succession. Through this research I highlight the infrequently consulted perspectives of PSU staff, the forgotten after effects of succession, and the inequality of focus on leaders and followers.
Experiences of Succession in HEIs
This study is being conducted as part of my, Sam Ross’, PhD thesis study in the School of Management at the University of St Andrews.
You are invited to participate in a research project which explores individual experiences of succession within professional service units. You would have the opportunity to participate in a series of three interviews and submit audio diaries across a period of 6 – 10 months. You may participate in as much or as little of the research process as you prefer.
This research promises to be a reflective, cathartic opportunity for all participants, with early access to the final findings of the thesis. If you have participated in a succession process in a professional service unit in the past 6 – 13 months, you may be interested in this research.
If you are interested, please get in contact using the details below. You will then be given a Participant Information Sheet that further details my research and have the opportunity to ask questions, before being asked whether you consent to participate.
