“…As noted by Creswell et al (1990), faculty members expect their chair to act as an advocate for their professional development. Faculty members are motivated to engage in productive behaviours based on several different factors, including self-motivation (Conley & Önder, 2014) and motivational support from their department chair (Monteiro et al, 2013). Department chairs help to create reward systems and distribute resources, which in turn enables faculty members to work toward meeting their goals (Miller et al, 2016).…”

As the roles of faculty members have continued to expand, leaders in higher education need a better understanding of the drivers of faculty engagement. The current paper develops and tests a hypothesized model of faculty engagement in which faculty member grit is positively related to faculty member engagement both directly and indirectly through faculty member–academic chair leader member exchange (LMX). Using a sample of 156 faculty members in a mid‐sized public university in the mid‐Atlantic region of the United States, we tested the hypothesized model using PROCESS Model 4 with 5000 boot‐strapped samples and a 95% confidence interval. Results show significant direct positive relationships between faculty member grit and faculty member engagement and between faculty member–academic chair LMX and faculty member engagement, but no significant indirect relationship of faculty member grit through LMX. Implications for higher education leaders are discussed, along with limitations and directions for future research.

“…The chair role, as the primary front-line academic administrator, is faced with a wide variety of challenges and opportunities. Monteiro et al (2013) noted that unlike other academic administrative positions, the front-line administrator's success is often linked to external variables such as employers, accrediting agencies, potential student pipelines, and program review bodies. Consistent with that contention is the Czech and Forward (2010) argument that chairs have been perceived to be more effective when they use the communication strategies of empathy, equality, spontaneity, and problem orientation in working with their faculty.…”

Community colleges located in urban areas face unique challenges and opportunities. How leaders in these institutions respond to this unique setting requires an understanding of the skills that might be required to adeptly work in these environments. Drawing upon survey research from the past 20 years, a research-team developed instrument was administered to a national sample of 466 academic program leaders who held titles similar to a department or division head or chair. With nearly 100 (n = 96) responses, the roles these leaders identified as being most important to their work focused on advocacy and information dissemination. The most agreed upon skills identified were related to sensitivity (including cultural sensitivity), leadership, and judgment, and the most important tasks they undertook were related to communications and creating a positive work environment. These findings suggest that these academic program leaders saw their roles as building supportive environments on campus in highly diverse urban areas, and that they in particular see the importance of serving as communicators between the institution and faculty.
