University Third Mission and the Antecedents: A Survey From Indonesian Higher Education

Abstract

The university’s third mission is to answer the demands of the government, industry, and society so that universities become more independent as institutions but still beneficial for society simultaneously, especially in supporting national competitiveness. This study’s purposes are to determine the factors determining the success of implementing the university’s third mission to support sustainable regional socio-economic development and to test the relationship between the antecedents of the university’s 3rd mission. This study confirmed that the university’s 3rd mission performance could be significantly influenced by the practice of an entrepreneurial university simultaneously aligning with SDG-oriented higher education.
