Abstract | The middle management position of departmental chairman is the point in the organizational structure of the educational institution where good supervision, management and administration must begin. A lack of understanding of the importance of the chairman's role has led to a neglect of the position in the administrative organization and a subsequent weakening of the meanagment structure of the institution. There are four principal areas at the middle management level that, if carefully evaluated and organized, could reduce management problems considerably: (1) the administration of middle management personnel--the neglect of the upper echelon administration to recognize fully the importance of the chairman's position; (2) the selection of middle management personnel; (3) the role difinition of a middle manager, the departmental chairman; and (4) the training of a middle manager, the departmental chairman. The most critical, most needed position within middle management of post-secondary education is that of departmental chairman or its equivalent. The duties and responsibilities of a department chairman are listed, grouped under the following topics: managerially oriented, faculty oriented, curriculum oriented, clerically oriented, student oriented, and maintenance or support personnel oriented. A description of division chairman responsibilities at Golden West College is appended, as is a 46-item bibliography. (KM) |
