Academic Administrative Rating Report RESULTS

 

The Academic Administrator Rating Form (AAR) produces sub-scores for five administrator performance/characteristic dimensions including:

 

1. Organizational Leadership
2. External Relations
3. Human Relations
4. Faculty Values
5. Personal Integrity

A TOTAL RATING is also produced which is computed as the average of the responses to the items measuring the five dimensions noted above.  The rating form uses a Strongly Agree - Strongly Disagree response scale.  The sub-scale scores are computed based on a corresponding 4 to 1 numerical scale with 4.00 being the highest rating possible.  Respondents also have the option of selecting the No Basis for Judgment (NBJ) response if they feel they have insufficient information on which to respond to an item.  The NBJ response does not generate a numerical value used in the calculation of the sub-scores although it is represented in the graphic portion of this report.

 

In interpreting this report please note the constituency group identified on the table below.  Each administrator may have several possible constituency groups for which ratings must be obtained before a final evaluation can be made.  Also note the number of respondents for each constituency group.  If the number is less than 51% of the potential respondents for the constituency group the results should not be considered representative of that constituency group.

 

PLEASE REFER TO THE INTERPRETIVE GUIDE ON THE FOLLOING PAGES.  Since no normative data is currently available for the AAR caution must be exercised in interpreting the results.

INTERPRETIVE GUIDE

 

The Academic Administrator Rating Form (AAR) produces sub-scores for five administrator performance/characteristic dimensions including:

 

1. Organizational Leadership
2. External Relations
3. Human Relations
4. Faculty Values
5. Personal Integrity

  A TOTAL RATING is also produced which is computed as the average of the responses to the items measuring the five dimensions noted above.  The rating form uses a Strongly Agree != Strongly Disagree response scale.  The sub-scale scores are computed based on a corresponding 4 to 1 numerical scale with 4.00 being the highest rating possible.  Respondents also have the option of selecting the No Basis for Judgment (NBJ) response if they feel they have insufficient information on which to respond to an item. The NBJ response does not generate a numerical value used in the calculation of the sub-scores although it is represented in the graphic portion of this report.

 

In interpreting this report please note the constituency group identified on the RESULTS page.  Each administrator may have several possible constituency groups for which ratings must be obtained before a final evaluation can be made.  Also note the number of respondents for each constituency group.  If the number is less than 51% of the potential respondents for the constituency group the results should not be considered representative of that constituency group.

 

Since no normative data is currently available for the AAR caution must be exercised in interpreting the results. In interpreting the sub-scores presented in this report the following definitions and general guidelines should be considered.

 

 

Organizational Leadership 

This dimension addresses the perceptions of the respondents relative to the administrators skill and ability in leading the organization by means of systematic planning.  Such leadership also involves the careful integration of the organizations goals and objectives into specific tasks and priorities that the administrator sets and carries out. 

 

  • Administrators with a high score on this dimension (2.75 or higher) are generally seen as being organized and pursuing the organizations mission in a systematic manner.

 

  • Administrators with a low score on this dimension (2.00 or lower) may be seen as disorganized or pursuing goals that may contradict one another or not be in support of the organizations overall mission.

 

 

External Relations 

This dimension addresses the perceptions of the respondents relative to the administrators skill, attitude  and performance in representing the organization to the åoutside world both as an åambassador promoting the organization and as a åscout searching for external threats to, or opportunities for, the organization.

 

  • Administrators with a high score on this dimension (2.75 or higher) are generally seen as being willing and skilled in promoting a positive image of the organization within the community, and recognizing and/or using information from outside the organization that may represent a threat or an opportunity.

 

  • Administrators with a low score on this dimension (2.00 or lower) may be seen as being either unable or unwilling to promote a positive image of the organization, or failing to recognize and/or use information from outside the organization that may represent a threat or an opportunity.

 

 

Human Relations

This dimension addresses the perceptions of the respondents relative to the administrators personal characteristics in dealing with others within the organization. 

 

  • Administrators with a high score on this dimension (2.75 or higher) may be seen as being open-minded, considerate, willing to delegate authority, and generally skillful in dealing positively with subordinates in the work environment.

 

  • Administrators with a low score on this dimension (2.00 or lower) may be seen as being close-minded, lacking in consideration of others, playing it åclose to the vest, and generally not very skillful in dealing positively with subordinates in the work environment.

 

 

 

Faculty Values 

This dimension addresses the perceptions of the respondents as to the degree that the administrator supports and promotes a supportive, collaborative working relationship with the faculty.

 

  • Administrators with a high score on this dimension (2.75 or higher) may be seen as seeking out a collaborative working relationship with faculty, promoting an overall atmosphere of mutual trust, and generally being supportive of faculty growth and development.

 

  • Administrators with a low score on this dimension (2.00 or lower) may be seen as being generally unsupportive and distrustful of faculty, inhibiting faculty participation in institutional governance, and not sharing the same values as faculty relative to the administration of the organization.

 

Personal Integrity 

This dimension addresses the perceptions of the respondents regarding the administrators fairness and personal integrity.

 

  • Administrators with a high score on this dimension (2.75 or higher) may be seen as being honest, fair and unselfish in dealing with others in the work environment as well as being supportive of the personal professional growth of subordinates.

 

  • Administrators with a low score on this dimension (2.00 or lower) may be seen as being disingenuous in dealing with others, somewhat selfish in putting their own personal needs ahead others, unfair in evaluating or appropriately rewarding subordinates work.

 

Total Rating

The TOTAL RATING is simply the average of the responses to all items on the form. The TOTAL RATING should be considered simply a general indicator and should be interpreted with caution, and only in conjunction with the specific sub-scores presented. 

 

RESPONDENT DATA

The Academic Administrator Rating form also gathers data concerning the respondents knowledge of the administrators duties and responsibilities, frequency of interaction with the administrator, employment status, faculty rank, and tenure status.  This information may be used to further interpret the rating data.
