Abstract

Management of an institution determines its success or failure. Educational management and administration borrow the characteristics of business model with reference to the operations of higher education institutions. Managerial skills in this regard for campus sustainability are of great significance. However, there is a lack of study that comprehensively explores these skills. This study aimed at exploring the managerial skills to promote campus sustainability at Pakistan Public Universities (PPUs). The qualitative case study research design was employed to gain a deeper understanding of middle managers from PPUs. Semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis of documents were used to gather the data. Results found three types of managerial skills: technical skills, interpersonal skills and training and development. Challenges were found to create hurdles to improve these skills. Being the first qualitative study in Pakistan perspectives, the findings cannot be generalized but can be transferable to other public universities in Pakistan.
