Abstract

In the context of the new era, the modernisation of university governance has placed new demands on trade union work, and the Party's leadership of the innovative development of university trade unions has become an important issue in promoting the development of higher education institutions. This paper focuses on the mechanisms and paths for the Party to lead the innovative development of university trade unions. Using historical analysis, dialectical analysis, and a combination of theory and reality, it systematically sorts out the theoretical basis and historical evolution of the Party's leadership in the development of trade unions in higher education institutions, analyses the current challenges, constructs three major mechanisms of political leadership, coordinated action, and dynamic response, and proposes practical paths for conceptual innovation, carrier innovation, and capacity enhancement. The study aims to provide theoretical support for the innovative development of university trade unions based on the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. At the same time, it hopes to provide practical strategies for strengthening the Party's leadership of university trade unions and improving the effectiveness of trade union services, and to provide new paths for promoting the modernisation of university governance.
