A total of 103 academic department heads in four universities rated a set of 15 administrative activities as to their importance. Faculty members in these departments (totalN=1,333) used the same set of activities to rate both the importance they should be given by the department head and the effectiveness with which the head performed each set during the previous 12 months. Tests of reliability revealed that faculty ratings of both importance and performance were made with reasonable internal consistency. Three tests of construct validity showed that each of the three types of ratings were made with at least minimal validity. A principal components analysis of faculty ratings of performance suggested that the department head has three major types of responsibility: personnel management; departmental planning and development; and building the department's reputation. 相似文献

John Muffo 《Research in higher education》1979,10(1):25-35
Rankings of graduate and professional programs have become commonplace since Cartter's study for the American Council on Education was published in 1966. Much of the research up to the present has focused on discovering proxy variables, such as departmental size, which correspond to departmental ratings, as well as observing how the ratings of departments change over time. This study examines the relationship between the peer ratings reported by Roose and Andersen in 1970 and resource allocation patterns, represented by average salary figures, among fifty major American universities. It also shows the relationship of these ratings and other resource allocation measures within one of the fifty institutions. Results indicate that among the fifty universities, average salaries are higher at the highly rated institutions than at the lower rated ones, with senior professors being the chief beneficiaries of the higher wage scales. Similarly, within one institution the senior professors of higher ranked departments are better paid, compared to their junior colleagues, than those of lower rated departments. The higher rated departments share commonalities as to proportion of senior professors and teaching load assignments as well. Both across and within universities, departments found to be prestigious by Roose and Andersen do tend to exhibit common characteristics concerning resource allocation procedures.Presented at the Annual Forum of the Association for Institutional Research, Houston, Texas, May 1978. 相似文献

The formalisation of reviews of academic performance, whether it be during probation, for promotion, or for feedback to tenured staff, has put a formidable burden on heads of departments who tend to be involved in all review processes concerning staff in their department.
This paper will present and discuss some data from a current study on the role and functions of heads of departments in Australian universities. Information obtained from heads as well as from staff highlight the difficulties of heads who have to make evaluative statements on departmental staff which may further or slow down their career. Regular performance appraisal of tenured staff pose particular problems as heads have few resources at their sole disposal to reward in any tangible way excellent performance, and indeed also command few, if any, measures to ensure adequate performance. Heads may have positional authority, but academic conventions often prevent heads from exercising it. Clearly heads need leadership qualities and the ability to create a positive departmental climate so that performance reviews are experienced as constructive and rewarding. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to delineate departmental differences in the length of time that doctoral students take to receive
their degrees and the institutional characteristics linked with it. Variables describing graduate departments in three disciplines
(chemistry, English, and psychology) and their parent universities were obtained from available records. In analyses of departments
in each discipline, a relatively small set of institutional variables correlated with average time to the doctorate for the
department, after controlling for characteristics of students in the department, and these relationships differed from discipline
to discipline. The clearest and most extensive findings emerged for psychology: the institutional variables identified primarily
concerned faculty accessibility (student/faculty ratio and department size)—a longer time to the doctorate for departments
with many students per faculty member or many students. 相似文献

美国大学系主任管理和领导角色探析 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
在美国,系是大学最基本的组成单位。因此,大学系主任几乎负责与教、学、研及向社会提供服务有关的各项活动,通常扮演管理和领导的双重角色。其主要的工作包括开发师资、组织管理本系的各项日常活动和事务、领导本系的整体发展以及从事教学科研工作。显而易见,美国高等教育能够达到今天的水准与系主任的贡献是分不开的。中国高校正在面临、或在不同程度上进行内部结构和职能的调整和重组。尤其是许多大学纷纷成立学院。因而,对系主任管理领导角色进行重新定位具有深远意义。相信了解和借鉴国外的成功经验定有裨益。 相似文献

The correlates of the rate of faculty advancement through steps within ranks were examined in a sample of 40 departments on two campuses of a large state university system. The proportion of departmental faculty moving through steps at faster than normal speed was positively correlated with the political power of the department on the campus and, in some cases, with the proportion of the faculty in the department who were at more senior ranks. The rate of departmental growth, the level of the department's scientific paradigm, or departmental national prestige had no effect on faculty career speed. The evidence suggests that it is important to broaden the study of faculty salary and other rewards to include structural as well as individual variables, including departmental affiliation and characteristics of the department. 相似文献

Bachelor’s degrees in criminal justice (BCJ) now constitute one of the ten most awarded undergraduate degrees in this country, yet little attention has been paid recently to the institutional, departmental, or curricular aspects of these programs. This study used primary and secondary data collected from the population (N = 670) of US colleges and universities offering BCJ degrees during the 2015–2016 academic year to describe and assess the state of these programs. Results indicated BCJ programs are typically found at relatively small, residential, non-selective, private, sectarian, master’s-level institutions located in urban areas; the programs are housed in smaller departments labeled “criminal justice” located in academic units other than colleges/schools of arts & science; and BCJ curricula vary in total, required, and elective hours for the major, required courses in the major, and do not offer concentrations. Observations about the current state of BCJ programs are made as are recommendations for future research. 相似文献

The paper explores academic staff and departmental research and teaching cultures in the Education Departments of five universities
in Scotland and England, countries with increasingly diverging public policies in respect of education. The relationship between
research and teaching, how the purposes of universities are defined and the status of research in Education are current UK
higher education policy preoccupations. Data is drawn from interviews with 40 academics, observation of department settings,
documentation and websites. The analysis draws on the work of Bourdieu, considering the changing habitus of individual academics,
their departmental and academic subject context and the forms of symbolic capital now required in Scottish and English Education
departments in response to new policies affecting their academic field. The paper also utilises recent literature on the research–teaching
relationship. The career trajectories of respondents, their habitus and the forms of symbolic capital that they bring to academic
life are examined, as are the extent to which the teaching and research cultures in each of the five departments studied mirror
each other and whether these also reflect the two different policy contexts. The themes how academic cultures are shaped and
research/teaching connections viewed have international as UK relevance. 相似文献

This paper asks why spatially separated school departments might exhibit, in different ways, very similar practices. Data from an ethnographic study of three secondary school geography departments in England are discussed through a concept of ‘isomorphism’ (homogenising forces), drawn from neo-institutional theory. Similarities across these departments are analysed in terms of coercive isomorphism, including the strong regulatory role played by examination boards and Ofsted; mimetic isomorphism, in which similar approaches are adopted in response to situations of high uncertainty, based on spreading good practice; and normative isomorphism, including the implications of closely guarded educational routes, the professionalisation of teaching, and wider social trends including the increasing use of Google as a source of knowledge for lessons. It is argued that evidence of homogeneity across spatially separated departments raises interesting questions about teachers’ practice, with implications for departmental and school leadership. 相似文献

The authors focus on the university department as the basic administrative and productive unit in the managerial structures of universities in the German Democratic Republic. For the authors, the departmental structure is more efficient in almost every way than the former system of faculties and chairs because it permits a more rational use of available human, material, technical, and financial resources. Departments which are structured in terms of specific disciplinary and scientific criteria can more easily forge links with other departments with regard to interdisciplinary projects and programmes. They are also in a position to interact more efficiently with outside partners, in industry, for instance. The authors focus their study on the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Technological University of Karl‐Marx‐Stadt by reference to which they illustrate the versatility of university departments in general and the advantages of such management concepts as decentralization and individual initiative and responsibility. 相似文献

This study investigated the relative importance which six groups of academic departments attached to five institutional goal dimensions. The six groups were formed on the basis of Holland's theory of vocational choice and the five goal dimensions were developed from a factor analysis of eleven goal statements. A stepwise, multiple discriminant analysis revealed significant differences between the six groups of academic departments on the Research-Graduate and Quality Education goal dimensions. These two dimensions produced significant differentiation in eleven of the fifteen possible group comparisons. The findings suggest tentatively that Holland's theory of vocational choice can assist in the interpretation of varying goal priorities within the academic community. Suggestions are offered to indicate how this theory might be employed by university administrators and in subsequent research on the administration of academic departments and the complex roles of their chairmen. 相似文献

Enquiries into the governance, structure and management of higher education institutions across the globe have stimulated changes to the legislative and policy frameworks within which universities operate and to their organizational structures and processes. These changes have subsequently brought into question the proper role of academics in relation to the leadership and management of their departments/institutions. While mainstream academic staff conceive of academic leadership as being strictly associated with teaching, research and community outreach, university administrators and policy makers conceptualize it more broadly. Their definitions often include the management of change, quality, information, finance, and physical and human resources - functions that many mainstream academics perceive as being the responsibility of departmental/institutional administrative or support staff. Such differences create major challenges for academic development units. What type of training should they provide? Should they embrace activities that support these new conceptions of leadership and management? These are among the central issues explored in this paper. 相似文献

Leadership for Open and Flexible Learning 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Universities are responding to demands to be more inclusive, accountable, entrepreneurial and self-sustaining by seeking solutions in open and flexible learning and information and communications technology (ICT). Such applications are being transformed from equity-driven and marginal in a few universities to commercially-driven and mainstream across higher education systems. Open learning and ICT have the capacity to be 'disruptive technologies', transforming the organisation, culture and practices of existing universities and leading to new forms of institution and learning networks. The authors discuss these issues and draw upon their recent study into leadership in the field to argue for transformation leadership at the institutional, departmental, and programme level and suggest an action framework for those who would lead and manage. 相似文献
