Review of Literature Keeping in view the professional and academic role of existing institutional management, there is a need to analyze the previous work on this issue. The main focus of this study is to identify and implement the institutional management as important indicator for improving the quality teaching, through which the leaders may be able to engage themselves proactively in the process and standards of quality teaching and learning at university level. For this purpose a comprehensive analytical approach about relevant literature was used for developing a framework of dimensions of institutional management and its impact on quality teaching at university level. Regarding this study, different dimensions such as management, education or institutional management, leadership or managerial skills, university culture, teaching learning process, research and academic performance of faculty were analyzed. Overall, this part of the study summarizes the background of key concepts of institutional management and its impact on the performance of higher education institutions. According to UNESCO Report (1997), any country can achieve the sustainability and criteria of global development through higher education. It is also essential for peace, progress and prosperity of the nations not only within the society but at international level as well. For raising the quality of higher education an ideal framework may be built around the vision of UNESCO Report (1997) as there is a need to ensure the quality of higher education, while ensuring the quality of all institutional components, such as, teaching, learning, research, institutional management practices, curriculum, assessment, professional development, allocation of physical, human, financial and educational resources and merit policy. Chalmers (2008) also viewed that quality of university teaching depends on different factors such as, qualified and competent faculty, teaching learning resources, university environment, evaluation system and professional development. Although all these factors are important, but the teacher is taken as more responsible factor to enhance the quality of education. Regarding this issue, Brooks and Brooks (1993) stated about teacher, as effective and successful teacher at university level, must possess the command on the subject, pedagogical knowledge and innovative for using modern strategies for teaching learning and assessment, love for subject and awareness about the latest researches and development in his/her field. Keeping in view the institutional performance, Lindsay (1982) observed that the performance of any institution is examined through effectiveness and efficiency of inputs and outputs components. Therefore, institutional management is responsible to establish the links between these components. Fostering institutional management and its impact on teaching among the leaders and the teachers, there is a need to consider that highly committed academicians can perform better, if the managerial skills of institutional leaders are better. So, the institutional management is very important area at university level. It tends not only to influence the effectiveness of leaders or their work output but also the efficiency of teachers. Therefore, it is essential to explore the role of those indicators for better management in institutions. Institutional management may be conscious that can exercise their responsibilities at the best level of professionalism for preparing the institution to meet the challenges in global perspective. For this purpose there is a need that leaders must have a clear understanding about their role. They must possess the academic character (Hussain, 1989). Teaching component is taken as the heart of university, but there is a need to make the teaching valuable which causes to increase the academic character of the institution. According to Community of University Chairmen (CUC) report (2006) for enhancing the performance of institution, efforts can be made to strengthen the academic character of the institution. Academic character is conditioned with institutional mission, dynamic curriculum, qualified and dedicated staff, students’ enthusiasm, good governance and institutional management and resources. Hence, academic character can be established through rigorous efforts of many years. Bliss and Breen (2008) stated, for achieving the desired targets of any institution, effective institutional management is essential. So, following are the institutional management functions which work as the foundations of management system such as: (1) outcomes; (2) coordination among the institutional components; (3) rules regulations; (4) provision of all kinds of resources; (5) promotion; (6) evaluation system; and (7) research. In the light of UNESCO Report (1998), the institutional management at university level has the following functions to run the university: (1) developing the policies and regulations regarding the governing of the university; (2) establishing the merit policy which has the philosophy of equality for all; (3) developing the academic freedom; (4) operational accountability; (5) fulfilling the local, national and international demands; (6) provision of innovative educational t
