Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson Oct 1983

Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Written from a dean’s perspective, this article identifies factors that can strengthen speech communication programs during periods of budget pressure and program review. It argues that communication benefits from broad societal growth, employer demand for speaking, listening, interpersonal, and writing abilities, and strong student interest, but also faces economic retrenchment and possible overproduction of academic doctorates. The article recommends four priorities for program survival: high quality research, stronger relationships with other disciplines, balance between theoretical study and competence based instruction, and development of public constituencies including alumni and campus partners. It frames these priorities not only as defensive strategies but …

Come On Administrators: Get Off Our Backs, Gordon R. Owen Aug 1983

Come On Administrators: Get Off Our Backs, Gordon R. Owen

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Drawing on experience as a postsecondary speech educator, this commentary critiques administrative policies that prioritize publication counts over teaching quality and faculty judgment. It argues that pressures tied to enrollment decline, retrenchment, tenure insecurity, and managerial self preservation can make faculty the scapegoat and reduce educational quality. The essay challenges assumptions that teaching quality cannot be measured, that research and publication are equivalent, that publication totals are universally accepted measures of excellence, that submission readily produces publication, that publication guarantees quality, that experimental quantitative work should outrank other forms of inquiry, and that conference travel is justified only by presenting …

Managing Communication Stress: The Implications For Communication Administrators, John C. Relnard, John E. Crawford

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines stress management as a concern for communication administrators and departmental leadership. It distinguishes stress, strain, generativity, and burnout, presenting a staged model in which pressures may lead from stress to strain and exhaustion unless moderated by coping orientations and coping actions. The discussion treats administrator burnout as a special case of the stress cycle, linking it to frustrated commitments, reduced efficiency, withdrawal, maintenance patterns, and exhaustion. It reviews personal and social resources associated with coping, including perceived control, personal orientation, interpersonal orientation, support systems, and stress management options. The article also considers organizational responses for communication administration, …

Collective Bargaining And Academic Administration: The Significant Overlap, Albert Lewis Aug 1983

Collective Bargaining And Academic Administration: The Significant Overlap, Albert Lewis

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the overlap between collective bargaining and academic administration in communication departments. It uses a four process model of labor negotiation to compare bargaining work with departmental leadership, focusing on distributive bargaining, integrative bargaining, attitudinal structuring, and intraorganizational bargaining. The discussion connects negotiation over scarce resources with administrative decisions about equipment, faculty positions, operating funds, and program priorities. It also considers how problem solving, cooperation, trust, and legitimacy shape both contract administration and departmental governance. The article emphasizes the boundary role faced by negotiators and chairpersons, who must represent constituencies while working with external decision makers. It suggests …

Rediscovering The Joys Of Teaching, Joan E. Shields-Kole, Judy Goldberg, J. Atman Hutchinson Aug 1983

Rediscovering The Joys Of Teaching, Joan E. Shields-Kole, Judy Goldberg, J. Atman Hutchinson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Organized as a practical guide for communication teachers, this article addresses burnout, boredom, stress, and detachment in teaching. It identifies symptoms such as predictable routines, technical monologue, overused verbal patterns, absenteeism, and health related stress responses, then links these difficulties to unmet role related needs. The article presents a chart of needs, actions, and effects designed to help teachers regain perspective, alleviate boredom, get off the treadmill, test what they teach, gain rewards, remain adaptable, and take professional risks. Suggested actions include varying routines, team teaching, changing course design, seeking feedback, writing, joining committees, trying new teaching environments, and confronting …

Locus Of Control In Voluntary And Involuntary Psychiatric Patients, Christopher B. Karegeannes Jul 1983

Locus Of Control In Voluntary And Involuntary Psychiatric Patients, Christopher B. Karegeannes

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Psychiatric inpatients, consisting of 32 males and 33 females between the ages of 15 and 58 completed Rotter's (1966) Internal-External Locus of Control (I-E) Scale. The scale was administered individually to the patients at both admission and discharge, at the Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) in Orlando, Florida. Analysis of variance was used to determine whether there were significant differences due to commitment status (voluntary and involuntary), diagnosis (thought and affective and other disorders), and change scores (admission versus discharge). The hypothesis that involuntary patients would produce significantly higher scores was not confirmed. Further, no significant difference was found due to …

The Adult Client's Conception Of Confidentiality In The Therapeutic Relationship, Philip O. Toal Jul 1983

The Adult Client's Conception Of Confidentiality In The Therapeutic Relationship, Philip O. Toal

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The adult client's conception of confidentiality in the therapeutic relationship and the valuing of this confidentiality was examined and defined in this paper. The importance of confidentiality and its effect on the therapeutic process was explored. Many professionals in the field of mental health believe that confidentiality is a critical factor in the successful outcome of therapy (Hayt, 1977; Lowenthal, 1968; Reynolds, 1976; Tancredi & Slady, 1975). It is viewed that confidentiality is expected by clients when entering into a therapeutic relationship, and is essential in the therapeutic process. The variables that may affect the client's conception of, attitudes toward, …

Work And Leisure Attitudes Among Health Services Personnel, Robert C. Frink Jul 1983

Work And Leisure Attitudes Among Health Services Personnel, Robert C. Frink

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This study examines the relationship between work and leisure satisfaction using Shepard's Status Recognition Model. The sample was made up of two groups of health services personnel each of which contained three work levels or groups: a support group, a clinical group, and an administrative group. Assuming that status recognition would be different for the low status jobs (support) and high status jobs (clinical and administrative), it was hypothesized that the high status group would display low work related alienation and thus show a positive correlation between work and leisure satisfaction (evidence of a spillover mechanism). The lower status group …
