For decades now, higher education has responded to globalization with institutional internationalization. However, at many institutions, the rhetoric of internationalization has been more pervasive than comprehensive and sustained action. Despite its importance, little qualitative research has examined what prompts and who motivates actions resulting in implementation of internationalization. Even less research has been conducted at diverse types of higher education institutions. This dissertation provides insight into how context, culture, leadership, and faith influenced the implementation of internationalization and global practices (IGPs) at two small US higher education institutions.The purpose of this dual case study was to examine why and how two small US liberal arts institutions-one non-faith-based, and one faith-based-and their leaders implemented IGPs. Four research questions guided this study: (a) What are the internal and external factors that affect IGPs of the institutions? (b) Who are the leaders, their roles, and their leadership approaches towards IGPs at each institution? (c) What are the global practices of leaders? and (d) How does the faith factor influence internationalization, leaders, and global practices?This study was conducted utilizing a social constructivist and pragmatic methodological design. More than 100 participants at the two institutions were interviewed. The participants represented leaders at the senior, trustee, middle, faculty, staff, student, and community levels.Four significant institutional influences on IGPs emerged from the data. Indeed, participants cited (a) context, as influenced by size, location, and external pressures and motivations over time; (b) culture, as influenced by the people, place, and purpose of the institution; (c) leadership, as it influenced and is influenced by culture, specifically, authentic, servant, shared, intrapreneurial, and women in leadership, as well as reluctant and anti-leadership; and (d) faith, as it influenced institutional context, culture, and leadership of IGPs. Identifying these influences led to the development of the novel Internationalization System (INTSYS) model that educators and administrators can utilize to conduct analysis and plan for institutional change in the implementation of IGPs.Seventeen key findings are presented based upon the four key components of the INTSYS model: context, culture (purpose, place, and people), leadership, and faith. Specifically, senior leaders utilized authentic and servant leadership approaches creating a culture conducive for middle leaders and faculty to employ shared and intrapreneurship leadership for IGPs. Women middle leaders, faculty, staff, and students were essential to the implementation of IGPs in a variety of high impact service positions. Faith emerged, over all other influences, in sustaining IGPs over time at both institutions. Implications, recommendations, and directions for future research are discussed.
