Abstract

Governance has been widely discussed by scientists and practitioners. There have been many opinions about the concept of good governance, especially good university governance (GUG) for higher education. Governments should act according to all the criteria of good governance (de Vries, 2013). The purpose of this study is to figure out how the implementation of GUG affects the performance of the university. The study applies combine qualitative and quantitative research methods by using structured questionnaires. GUG has not become a culture, as a result, universities are unable to provide the manpower needed by industry. The university needs to reconsider its mission, not only as a social and educational function but also as an entrepreneurial one, by developing strategies and programs and involving stakeholders. The level of trust of the stakeholders will be determined by how well GUG in the university is implemented. The first step to becoming entrepreneurial universities is to change them from education universities to research ones. This can be interpreted that every university has the same view of the importance of implementing GUG. The implementation of GUG is a sign of gaining the university’s success.
