ABSTRACT

Framed by open governance theory, this study focuses on the innovation and evolution of management mechanisms for hybrid higher education teaching teams. Through a systematic exploration of organizational forms, management challenges and innovation pathways of higher education teaching teams within the open governance paradigm, it draws on literature analysis, case studies and empirical surveys. The findings reveal that traditional bureaucratic management models struggle to meet the developmental needs of hybrid teaching teams. In contrast, the principles of open governance, emphasized multi-stakeholder participation, resource sharing and collaborative innovation, provided the theoretical basis and practical direction for creating dynamic and flexible management systems. The paper proposes a new open governance management mechanism model that encompasses goal coordination, resource integration, dynamic adaptation and evaluation feedback mechanisms. The operational logic and implementation outcomes of these mechanisms are analyzed through case studies. The findings have significant theoretical value and practical implications for the modern transformation of the management of higher education teaching teams, enhancing teaching quality and boosting innovation capabilities.
