Abstract
Morsink identifies the functions that higher education administrators have in common with educational adminis trators in school districts and educa tional agencies; then she identifies those contextual variables from which differ ences in the critical functions of school, college, and departments of education (SCDE) chairpersons and deans might be inferred. Data were obtained in inter views with 70 educational adminis trators, 36 of whom were SCDE Deans or Chairpersons. Responses to the inter view questions were transcribed, syn thesized, and compared with previous findings on administrative "best prac tices" reported in the literature. The re sults suggest that educational adminis trators view two of four common "tasks" identified in earlier research as among their most important functions. These include (a) providing leadership in achievement of the organization's goals, and (b) supporting personnel to enable them to achieve these goals.
