Academic Organizational Culture

In the academic field, functional structures are the fundamental entities on the basis of which the current system is developed and reformed. In this case, we are dealing not with simple administrative structures representative of the other types of education system, but we are talking about official departments, which form the structure of the faculty. Generically, coordinators are appointed heads of department. Cumulatively, the totality of departments forms the structure of the faculty. Subsequently, the sum of all these sectors forms the academic ensemble. The management is formed by an executive office that includes those authorized and elected persons at central level, from different environments of activity, but who are part of the organization, but also the central coordinator called rector. These units represent school structures that are not centrally administered, compared to the preschool system or at the high school level. Each entity represents an individual legal personality that is centrally administered and opts for its own choices, being autonomously responsible for the rules, conduct or organization to which it is subject. The modus operandi of these organizations is not an institutional one, being a multidirectional operational coordination that depends on the entire group of persons in management positions such as the deans, vice-deans, the executive office and the rectors
