This research focuses on the boundary-spanning leadership of higher education administrators in Dalian’s applied universities. Aiming to determine its components and indicators, propose a model, and develop improvement guidelines. Using a mixed-method approach with 13,910 administrators and teachers from 12 universities as the population and 392 as the sample. The results show the model consists of five components: Inspiration, Foresight, Decisiveness, Integration, and Resilience. The theoretical model aligns with empirical data, confirming the research hypothesis. The improvement guidelines involve aspects like inspiring shared vision and adopting structured strategies, providing valuable references for enhancing leadership in such universities. Recommendation for Practical Application 1. Inspiration University admins should organize seminars/workshops with experts from various fields. This can expand knowledge and inspire new research/teaching methods. For instance, an engineering and design dept. can jointly hold a seminar. Also, set up an “Innovation Incentive Fund” to support creative multi-disciplinary projects. 2.Foresight Set up a “Future Trends Research Center” with admins, faculty from different disciplines, and industry reps. It researches emerging tech, social needs, and policy trends. Admins should also encourage faculty to attend international conferences and exhibitions and share experiences. 3.Decisiveness: Develop a “Boundary-Spanning Decision-Making Procedure Manual” for clear processes and responsibilities in cross-disciplinary issues. Strengthen communication with faculty and students when making decisions. 4.Integration: Create a “Boundary-Spanning Collaboration Platform” using IT to break departmental barriers and facilitate resource sharing. Promote joint development of interdisciplinary courses. 5.Resilience: Organize “Crisis Simulation Exercises” to improve response and adaptation. Establish a "Resilience Support Network" with internal and external resources for support during difficulties
