description IntroductionCustomer-centered management theory has considerable potential for increasing the quality of higher education (HE) in China and promoting its sustainable development.MethodsThis study applied customer-centered enterprise management theory to develop an HE stakeholder satisfaction scale based on data from 1,654 students, teachers, and other staff members, including human resources personnel.ResultsThe three-part stakeholder satisfaction survey consists of the China University Student Satisfaction Scale, the China University Teacher and Staff Satisfaction Scale, and the China University Graduate Human Resources Department Satisfaction Scale. All three subscales were valid, reliable, and can be used to foster management innovation, although they require adjustments to improve their coverage of different HE environments.DiscussionOrganizational self-assessment based on customer-centered corporate management theory has much to contribute to the quality and sustainability of China’s HE systems.
