| Summary: | This study empirically established that top managers of university in Indonesia categorized into four metaphors. The metaphor created base on two dimensions, which is strategic interpretation and political interpretation. Metaphors use name of actors in "wayang" (Indonesia traditional puppef), that is: (1) "Kresna": predisposed to see organizational issues as potency and strategic opportunities to get benefit for organization, and for the same time also perceive that issues can trigger potential conflicts; (2)"Sengkuni": predisposed to see issues as political support of particular group interests, and less attention to perceive strategic quality of issues; (3) "Bima": predisposed only to perceive that issues connected with strategic interest of organization; and (4) "Yudistira": withdraw him/herself from organizational problems~Practical implication is university top managers should be encouraged or trained to be "Kresna"~Characteristics of"Kresna" needed to develop university effectively and sustain ably in high political climate. |
