    Leadership situations in academic departments: Relations among measures of situational favorableness and control (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 8 (1978), S. 125-143 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: university departments ; community college divisions ; chairmen ; leadership ; control ; task structure ; faculty relations

    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract Measures of attributes of leadership situations faced by chairmen in academic divisions and departments were theoretically and empirically related. Measures of task structure and member relations were derived from Fiedler's (1967) Contingency Model of Leadership, and measures of total control and relative control were derived from Tannenbaum's (1967) Control Graph Theory. Two correlational studies using samples of community college divisions and university departments indicated that hypotheses derived from research undertaken in business and military settings were not generally supported in higher educational settings. Consistent findings across both studies indicated that high task structure (faculty homogeneity and academic task structure) is associated with better member relations and greater cooperation on administrative matters. Implications for administrators are briefly discussed.

    Programmed achievement using a within-class control (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 8 (1978), S. 145-156 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: programmed achievement ; mastery learning
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract College students operated under different contingencies in the same classroom. The Programmed Achievement (PA) condition required students to evidence criterion performance (100% mastery) on 12 Chapter quizzes. Failure to evidence mastery performance on any of the quizzes resulted in the loss of a letter grade off the final course grade. The control condition involved a more traditional college classroom structure where students took chapter quizzes with no requirement to evidence mastery. A third group of low achievement students, identified at midterm, operated under control conditions the first half of the semester and were subsequently shifted to the PA contingency the second half of the semester. The results revealed only a slight superiority for PA students over controls and both PA and Control students demonstrated significantly better performance when compared to that of low achievement students prior to midterm. However, following the PA shift these subjects evidenced performance equivalent to that of the other two groups. Procedural and theoretical implications of these data were discussed.

    College presidents' role performance and faculty satisfaction (1977)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 7 (1977), S. 341-353 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: higher education ; community college ; educational administration ; college presidents ; leadership ; faculty satisfaction
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract This research analyzed faculty evaluations of college presidents' role performance with the intent of identifying underlying dimensions and to ask further which dimensions predicted faculty satisfaction with presidents. Data were gathered from 896 faculty members from two technical colleges, three community colleges, two private universities and three public universities in a Western state. The factor analysis revealed three relatively independent dimensions of the presidential role: personal-public image, faculty and student interaction with presidents, and absence of autocratic leadership style. The “personal-public image” was the most important dimension and predicted faculty satisfaction across the four types of institutions of higher learning. “Faculty-student interaction with the president,” while not as important a dimension of the presidential role, predicted faculty satisfaction in three institutional types, but not in public universities. The “absence of autocratic leadership style” predicted satisfaction in community and technical colleges.

    An examination of male-female performance in a programmed achievement learning center (1977)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 6 (1977), S. 169-179 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: male-female performance ; programmed achievement
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract College students operated under different classroom contingencies. The Programmed Achievement (PA) condition required students to evidence criterion performance (100% mastery) on weekly quizzes. Failure to show mastery performance on any of the weekly quizzes resulted in course failure. The Standard Control (S-C) condition involved a more traditional college classroom structure where students took weekly quizzes with no requirement to evidence mastery. Male and female performances were analyzed to determine if different course structures interacted with sex of student. The results indicated that PA students demonstrated higher performance than controls on weekly quizzes and a major exam. It was also shown that PA females increased at a more rapid rate than PA males, while S-C males and females were not significantly different. Theoretical implications of the results are discussed.

    PASS, an alternative method of teaching introductory psychology (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 8 (1978), S. 273-282 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: programmed achievement ; positive reinforcement ; bonus points
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract A new teaching method based on positively reinforcing attempts at mastery was introduced and empirically tested to determine its validity. The program, labeled Programmed Achievement Study System (PASS), makes use of traditional learning principles by providing rewards (bonus points) contingent upon reaching specified mastery criteria. Specifically, college students enrolled in introductory psychology were awarded additional points if they demonstrated mastery of concept areas on retake quizzes administered during a given week. PASS students, as compared to a control condition, demonstrated higher performance on a final examination given at the end of the semester. These results suggest that the PASS contingencies are preferable to those contingencies operating in more traditional classrooms. A theoretical rationale based on the principles of operant conditioning is discussed.

    Paradigm development and leadership style of university department chairpersons (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 9 (1978), S. 291-302 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: leadership ; chairpersons ; university departments
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract This article develops and tests the argument that leadership behavior in organizations can best be understood within a contingency technology-environment model. The major premise of this model is that one of the most influential intervening factors between organizational performance and leadership behavior is either the technology that the organization utilizes or the environment with which the organization interacts. Building upon this premise and the work of Kuhn (1970), four hypotheses are tested concerning the relationship between the effectiveness of natural science and social science departments in American universities using factor analysis. The data supports the conclusion that differential leadership styles are predictable in different scientific fields.
