Tóm tắt

Focusing on theoretical and empirical relations among power variables, faculty job involvement, and college organizational effectiveness, this study found that power behaviors variously affect one's sense of job involvement and overall effectiveness of one's college. In particular, influence was found to be positively related to involvement and to effectiveness, while coercion was found to be negatively related to effectiveness but not related to involvement. These findings suggest that empirical integration of divergent normative theories is useful for understanding how academic administrators might behave to improve the performance of their institutions and provide support for earlier studies which have used the empirical model used here.
