Expectations, Challenges, And Frustrations: Faculty And Administrator Perceptions Of Quality And Assessment, Fred A. Koslowski Iii
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
The purpose of this study was not to evaluate the means or methods by which outcomes assessment and quality are being enacted in higher education, or take sides in the raging state and federal policy debate on institutional accountability and efficiency, but rather to describe the reactions, feelings, and perceptions of one particular institutions internal stakeholders to the increasingly shrill rhetoric on such topics. The present research sought to provide a voice for current faculty and administrators who will be responsible for implementing these renewed calls for assessing educational quality: specifically, their perceptions of the value, challenges, opportunities, and frustrations …
Web-Enhanced Instruction: A Mixed Bag, Carol Mullen
Web-Enhanced Instruction: A Mixed Bag, Carol Mullen
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
Professionals are being expected to function in a progressively complex environment in all fields (Twale & Kochan, 2000). Technology plays a significant role in this challenge (Diem, 2002; Karlen, 2001), particularly for educational leaders (Mendis, 2002). Teaching and leading have become increasingly multifaceted art forms with the advent of learning technologies. University and school faculty are being expected to design, deliver, and assess successful online courses (Fuks, Gerosa, & de Lucena, 2002; Mendis, 2002), often without the necessary training and support (Walker, 2002). As face-to-face contact becomes reduced through online environments, effective communication becomes essential and barriers more pronounced (e.g., …
Academic Leadership In The Research University: Responsibilities For Faculty Governance, Michael Miller, Richard Newman
Academic Leadership In The Research University: Responsibilities For Faculty Governance, Michael Miller, Richard Newman
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
Faculty working in research-intensive university environments find a variety of challenges to their time, energies, and resources, including finding balance between the traditional areas of teaching, research, and service. In most research universities, the research focus becomes all encompassing, and institutional service commitments are called into question. The current study of over 500 faculty in research university environments demonstrates the need for shared governance to be clear and purposeful in its work and intentions in order to muster faculty support.

Volumes of research have documented the implementation of peer assessment in higher education (Falchikov, 1986; Huba & Freed, 2000). The literature doesn’t denote the impact of peer assessment on teacher education students. This study filled that void by investigating first-year teacher education students’ views of peer assessment.

Leadership Excellence: Constructing The Role Of Department, Pamela Benoit
Leadership Excellence: Constructing The Role Of Department, Pamela Benoit
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
The role of department chair in today’s colleges and universities is much different and more multifaceted than it was just a decade ago. Academic department chairs must conduct performance reviews, oversee budgets, carry out strategic planning, and negotiate their department’s identity within highly complex institutions (Hecht, Higgerson, Gmelch, & Tucker, 1999). Evidence gathered from ACE workshops indicated that as many as two-thirds of the chairs had no prior administrative experience and yet they face a demanding role requiring a wide range of talents (Hecht, Higgerson, Gmelch, & Tucker, 1999).
Leading Community College Distance Education, John Adams
Leading Community College Distance Education, John Adams
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
Technological, demographic, and competitive changes in distance education (DE) pose complex leadership and strategic issues for community colleges. Leaders must establish institutional and academic objectives, develop financial and technological strategies, and organize, market, and evaluate DE initiatives. Their objectives and strategies should anticipate and help shape the developing competitive environment in which their colleges operate. This qualitative case study examined DE administrative and staff leadership roles, organization structures, and strategies at three Midwestern community colleges with expanding DE programs. Leadership teams were small. New roles and organizational structures were evolving, and the colleges were maintaining strong video delivery while developing …
Strengthening Academic Programs With Proactive Fiscal Management And Other Innovative Strategies, David Buckholdt
Strengthening Academic Programs With Proactive Fiscal Management And Other Innovative Strategies, David Buckholdt
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
Price pressures in the form of escalating tuition will continue to impinge upon colleges and universities in an unabated fashion. While distance learning experiments and electronic assisted teaching may provide some relief in training-centric sectors of higher education, the university enterprise remains a labor intensive endeavor. Technology and healthcare expenses will continue to grow at most institutions at a rate far above the cost-of-living index. Public institutions are finding strong resistance to additional support based on tax revenue. Private institutions are increasingly being questioned about the “valueadded” they provide and whether it justifies their premium tuition.
Preserving The Future Of Rural Schools And Communities In The Plains, G. Mills
Preserving The Future Of Rural Schools And Communities In The Plains, G. Mills
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
There is a well-documented pattern in rural areas across the plains, as well as in other parts of the United States, of population loss and the associated consolidation or closing of literally thousands of rural schools. There is also dramatic evidence of the demise of a great many, once prosperous, small communities surrounding those same schools. It is time for more effective and sustained intervention, particularly in strengthening a sense of ‘citizenship of the place’ in those communities, especially among current school-aged children. Without this kind of thoughtful change in philosophy, the pattern of decline will continue to be repeated. …

Using Outdoor Experiential Training To Stimulate Emotional Intelligence Competencies And Group Leadership Skills Among Undergraduate Students, David Noer, Rex Waters
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
This study reports on the use of outdoor experiential training as a methodology for accelerating the group citizenship and leadership behaviors of undergraduate students. Using the emotional intelligence foundational skills of interpersonal competence and intrapersonal insight as a frame of reference for skill acquisition and measurement, it outlines the results of a self-assessment instrument and a small group problem solving exercise. Students reported a significant increase in group citizenship skills and the problem solving exercise indicated behavioral manifestations of these skills. The importance of incorporating the lessons of outdoor experiential training into an engaged classroom environment, mythological limitations, and opportunities …
An Examination Of Successful Leadership Power Base Perceptions, Tom Tworoger, Robert Preziosi
An Examination Of Successful Leadership Power Base Perceptions, Tom Tworoger, Robert Preziosi
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
This research investigated the relationship between the leader's perception of their power base and the follower's perception of the leader's power base. Two research questions focused the research. Leaders attempt to influence follower behavior (Weber, 1947; Lewin, 1951; Dahl, 1957). Hersey (1969) suggests that leadership equals influence. Furthermore, leadership is closely related to the concept of power (Stodgill, 19 74). Yukl (1989) concluded that French and Raven's work (1959) enjoyed wide acceptance in trying to define the type of leadership. The Power Perception Profile developed by Hersey and Natemeyer (1979) includes French and Raven's (1959) five power bases, French and …

Independent Auditor's Opinions Of Substantial Doubt: A Sox-2002 Markets Efficiency Evaluation, Jeff Grover
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
This study determined that cumulative abnormal stock returns of an auditor portfolio of firms with substantial doubt were positive but non-significant for a 23-event week period following the release of independent auditor opinions but transitioned to positive and significant for the remainder of the 35-event week window. The non-significant period supports the semi-strong form of the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH), which suggests that these opinions were quickly and efficiently absorbed by the firms' market value. The significant period anomaly violates the EMH and may suggest a lagged market response to an optimistic outlook of the market value of the auditor …
Presence Of Informed Trading In Options Markets: An Experiment Using Monte Carlo Simulation, Rafiqul Bhuyan, Mohammad Robbani, Yuxing Van
Presence Of Informed Trading In Options Markets: An Experiment Using Monte Carlo Simulation, Rafiqul Bhuyan, Mohammad Robbani, Yuxing Van
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
Using Monte Carlo Simulation we show that informed trading take place in the options market. Our results indicate that at-the-money option contracts are less likely to be information based trades. Using Black-Scholes model to evaluate call and put options, we find that with positive and negative information shocks, informed investors are better off trading out-of-the-money and/or in-the-money-options. This is clear evidence that investors with inside or superior information would take advantage of options' leverage effect, Black (1975). Our analysis sheds light on the direction to revisit the models proposed by Easley et al (1998) and Chan et al (2002). We …
A Leadership Primer: Managerial Leadership Defined And Discussed From The Perspective Of Four Leadership Models, Timothy Heinze
A Leadership Primer: Managerial Leadership Defined And Discussed From The Perspective Of Four Leadership Models, Timothy Heinze
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
Managerial leadership is difficult to comprehensively define. A holistic understanding of managerial leadership is best obtained through examining and integrating multiple models. Four leadership models are reviewed from a historical, definitional, and applicatory perspective. The four models include three well-known, heavily researched theories (situational, transformational, and path-goal) and one relative newcomer (grass roots). Each model provides significant insights into the nature of true leadership, and the combination of these four models provides a holistic overview of leadership. After reviewing each model, the paper addresses points of convergence and divergence in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of managerial leadership.

Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations contains many of the basic tenets of capitalism Less well known is Smith's discussion of the state of education in the late eighteenth century in the latter chapters of the Wealth of Nations. Smith offers a detailed examination of professorial and administrative motivations of his day. Smith's analysis has direct application to many of the same problems that educational critics today have identified. This paper presents Smith's observations in the context of the controversies identified in today's educational reform movement.

Transform Or Transact? Which Leader Gets Better Results? A Meta - Analysis, Jay Mulki, Fernando Jaramillo, William Locander
Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)
This study used meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between leadership style and job performance in sales settings. Specifically, the research investigates whether transformational or transactional leadership is more appropriate in creating a high performing sales environment. Results indicate that transformational leadership is positively and significantly related to salesperson’s job performance, whereas the relationship between transactional leadership and job performance is mixed. Also, results suggest that the relationship between transformational leadership and job performance is stronger when subjective, rather than objective, measures of job performance are used.
