Abstract This exploratory research addresses educational
management model for the universities. Its applicability
was successfully verified and validated through survey
data from leading tertiary educational institutions around
the world. The proposed model was developed based on
the analysis of literature, past theoretical frameworks,
interviews with stakeholders. Model constructs were
identified and confirmed by 493 respondents,
representing university administrators, faculty and staffs,
employers, and graduates. The resulting model was
subsequently evaluated for accuracy and validity by
multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis and the
structural equation modeling (SEM) technique.
