The Organizational Autonomy of Greek Universities: An attempt at quantification George Stamelos*, Haris Lambropoulos, Ourania Bousiou a Department of Primary Education, University of Patras, GR-26504 Patras, Greece *Corresponding author E-mail: stamelos@upatras.gr Abstract Both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the degree of organizational autonomy of Greek universities, during the period of the implementation of Law 4009/11, is attempted in the present study. The necessity of such a study is very important and fruitful for the Greek Universities, since in the period of the last research of European Union Association concerning the University Autonomy (EUA, 2017), Greece did not provide the required data to EUA and was not included in the countries studied. Sources regarding the measuring of the degree of university autonomy in Greece were based on both the methodology and results that emerged from the EUA research (EUA, 2007, 2017) as well as on the review of the literature and analysis of the data that emerged from the legislation applied by the universities in Greece, during the corresponding period. The quantification of organizational autonomy provided the score and the rank of Greek Universities relative to the other European Universities, which is found quite low. Therefore, we make proposals for a realistic, for Greek data, increase in organizational autonomy. The aim is to upgrade the services provided by institutions and to respond to the modern requirements of a globalized society and market.
