F. William Brown and Dan Moshavi, management professors in Montana State University-Bozeman's College of Business, recently had an article, "Inspiration, More Than Rewards, Improves Faculty Effectiveness," published in the Journal of Leadership Studies. Research findings from that article was the focus of a another story printed in the Academic Leader Newsletter for Academic Deans and Department Chairs this past fall.
The two MSU professors analyzed data from their study of the leadership styles of chairmen or department heads of 70 academic departments from universities across the United States. The article in the Academic Leader pointed out that a relationship between department heads and faculty that is characterized by admiration, trust, and respect tends to improve faculty effectiveness and elicit productive behaviors significantly more than the distribution or allocation of tangible rewards. Certain interpersonal and inspirational leadership skills, referred to as "transformational leadership," utilized by academic administrators also consistently resulted in faculty expending greater effort than what was required by their jobs.
