Exploration of the Balance Between Humanized and Institutionalized Management in University Student Management

Abstract

With the diversification and complexity of higher education, the methods of student management in universities are continuously evolving. Achieving an effective balance between humanized and institutionalized management is an important issue currently faced in university student management. Humanized management centers on students, focusing on their individual development and psychological needs; whereas institutionalized management emphasizes norms, standards, and enforceability to ensure fairness and order. This paper aims to explore the practices of humanized and institutionalized management in university student management, analyze the challenges they face, and explore strategies to achieve balance. Through a study of the connotations, implementation paths, and integration strategies of humanized and institutionalized management, the paper proposes methods such as cross-departmental collaboration and dynamic adjustments. This research seeks to provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for university student management and offer references for addressing future educational management challenges.
