Abstract
Administrators, chairmen, and faculty at a community college were surveyed to determine the extent of congruity among their perceptions of the chairman role and governance functions in the college. The results disclosed significantly different perceptions among the three levels of college participants. A key variable related to the perceptual dissonance was time in position. Significantly greater negative perceptions of the abilities and functional value of the chairman were associated with responses from those with longer histories in the institution. The dissonance between role perceptions related to time in position implies the need for improving communication/information processes between college personnel, specifically directed toward maintaining common understanding of the chairman role prescription.
