The dependent variable of leadership style and the independent variables of age, experience, professional orientation, and enrollment size were investigated. The basis for a predominant leadership style was also established.

Leadership style was defined as the extent to which the leader is concerned about (a) task or production, and (b) people or relationships. Various theories focusing on the dimensions of concern for task and concern for people …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

The discussion identifies competencies needed by communication professionals, including interpersonal communication, management, persuasion, research, group facilitation, instruction, oral presentation, and mass communication skills.

Defining The Field Of Communication., George Gerbner

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article defines communication as interaction through symbols and messages and presents communications as a discipline concerned with the nature and role of message systems in human life and society. It situates the field historically through the symbolic construction of culture, described as story telling, and traces major transformations from oral traditions to print publics and electronic media. The article gives particular attention to television as a ritualized system that exposes diverse audiences to shared patterns of messages and raises questions about culture, socialization, democracy, and public life. It also outlines an academic structure for the field, including codes and …

An Analog For Validating Creative Endeavor As Equivalent To Scholarship, David A. Mccants, Janet M. Roncelli

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focused on faculty evaluation in theatre, mass media, and oral interpretation, this article develops an analog between the assessment of scholarship and the assessment of creative endeavor. It identifies four elements in scholarly evaluation, including who evaluates, what works are reviewed, what criteria guide judgment, and how evidence of excellence is reported. The discussion then adapts those elements to creative work, emphasizing expert and impartial peer review, selective presentation of artistic evidence, creativity as a criterion of excellence, and structured reporting for promotion, tenure, and merit decisions. It defines creativity through altered appreciation, innovative artistic practice, and work that becomes …

What Is Communication?: Nailing Jello To The Wall, Frank E. X. Dance

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the difficulty of defining communication as both a subject matter and a disciplinary label. It reviews prior efforts to compare published definitions of communication and identifies recurring conceptual concerns, including interaction, human participation, information, intent, and evaluative judgments about communicative acts. The article proposes a family of related concepts for speech communication theory, distinguishing communication from information, speech, language, spoken language, signs, symbols, and vocalization. It argues that spoken language can serve as a central concern for human communication without limiting inquiry to speech acts alone. The article also addresses the relationship between subject matter and professional …

Defining The Field Of Communication, Erwin P. Bettinghaus

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers whether communication can or should be precisely defined as an academic field. It argues that meanings attached to communication change over time and that attempts to establish a single fixed definition are unlikely to resolve disciplinary uncertainty. Rather than limiting inquiry by excluding particular subjects, the article shifts attention to the role communication studies should play in higher education. It distinguishes between areas tied directly to professions or industries, such as journalism, advertising, theatre, and telecommunications, and areas focused on the production of knowledge about human communication, including interpersonal communication, rhetorical criticism, nonverbal behavior, and intercultural relations. …

Theatre Perspectives On The Field Of Communication, Donald L. Loeffler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Theatre perspectives on communication are presented through an account of theatre as a communicative art and as a field connected to speech communication, performance, media, education, and allied disciplines. The article describes theatre production as a structured exchange of messages among playwrights, directors, actors, designers, technicians, and audiences. It emphasizes the director as a designer of communication who organizes voice, movement, space, design, timing, and audience response into a coherent performance experience. The article also situates theatre within broader communication studies by considering audience analysis, cultural expectations, media competition, and the professional preparation of theatre students. It concludes by encouraging …

Communication As A Field Of Research, James A. Anderson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Communication as a field of research is examined through the diversity of scholarly communities, research levels, methods, values, and traditions that shape the discipline. The article describes communication research as organized around sociological levels, elements of the communication process, and delimiting variables that form overlapping interest groups. It also considers how research perspectives, including managerial, policy, technological, industry, and critical orientations, influence questions, interpretations, and disciplinary conflicts. Rather than presenting communication as a unified field with a single object or method, the article identifies common threads that connect research communities, including the central role of communication in social behavior, the …

Evaluation: Reactivity And Validity, Samuel L. Becker

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

The article considers how evaluation systems for artistic faculty can change the behavior they are intended to assess. Focusing on reactivity and validity, it cautions that criteria for promotion, tenure, and reappointment may encourage faculty to pursue prizes, outside work, audience appeal, or individual credit in ways that may or may not support departmental goals. The discussion argues that institutions should align evaluation procedures with their actual missions, whether those missions emphasize artistic innovation, cultural service, or student education. It also distinguishes artistic criteria from educational criteria and urges administrators to consider the likely effects of each assessment method. The …

Applying The Creativity Criterion To Productions By Professors Of Radio, Television, And Sound Recording, Caren J. Deming

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Addressing faculty evaluation in radio, television, and sound recording, this article responds to a model that treats creativity as analogous to originality in scholarship. It considers how outside reviewers might be identified, how candidate work should be selected for review, and how departments can document creative achievement for retention, tenure, and promotion. The discussion emphasizes the value of reviewer pools, careful attention to local and national standards, and narrative evaluation rather than numerical scoring. It also cautions that broadcast distribution, popularity, technology, intended audience, and market conditions may complicate judgments of quality. The article situates media production within communication administration …
