Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the leadership behavior of school business managers as perceived by selected staff and super-ordinates. Perceptions of the leaders' behavior were measured by responses to the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire. Board members, superintendents, business managers, and principals-supervisors reliably differentiated “real” and “ideal” Consideration and Initiating Structure with strengths of association (ω2) ranging from .212 to .550 of the variance accounted for. Only one of 24 cross-group comparisons was reliable; board members perceived the business manager's “real” behavior to be more considerate than did principals-supervisors. Thus, perceptions of the four groups were quite similar; in part the small samples and large variability (especially in “real” behaviors) accounted for this agreement.
