Research on Optimization Strategies of Private College Students' Participation in Student Community Governance from the Perspective of Synergy Theory

Abstract

With the deepening of higher education reform, the construction of "one-stop" student communities in private colleges has become an important path to improve educational efficiency and management level. However, compared with public colleges, private colleges face more significant collaborative dilemmas in the process of students' participation in community governance. Based on the perspective of synergy theory, this paper deeply analyzes the evolution process and current situation of "one-stop" student community construction in private colleges, and focuses on revealing the existing collaborative problems: information silos between departments lead to fragmented decision-making, uneven resource allocation restricts service balance, traditional management inertia weakens students' participation efficiency, and lack of institutional guarantees affects the sustainability of participation. The root cause lies in the tension between the unique "board-led president responsibility system" in the governance structure of private colleges and the bureaucratic management model, as well as insufficient understanding of students' subject status. To this end, this paper proposes systematic optimization strategies: first, construct a "multi-subject collaborative governance" mechanism, clarify the rights, responsibilities and interests among the board of directors, administrative departments, student work teams and students, and improve the student congress system; second, build a "digital intelligent collaborative sharing platform", use information technology to break data barriers, and establish a mechanism for accurate identification of needs and dynamic allocation of resources; third, implement a "capacity-incentive" dual-drive plan, improve students' literacy and ability to participate in governance through systematic training, and build an incentive mechanism that combines material and spiritual incentives; fourth, create an "inclusive collaborative cultural ecology", strengthen community identity under the leadership of the Party building, and cultivate an open, trusting and cooperative governance atmosphere. This study aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for private colleges to break through governance bottlenecks, stimulate students' main vitality, and realize the modernization of community governance[1].
