Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between leadership behaviors of middle-level managers and faculty engagement. Faculty engagement is emerging as a critical organizational issue, especially for China’s univer- sities as the country is pushing its universities towards achieving world-class status. Leadership behaviors play an important part in faculty engagement as in the case of the two Chinese public universities in our study. University middle-level managers have to work hard to engage others in the organization, particularly those in the faculty. Having an engaged faculty reaps many benefits for the universities as they seek to increases their overall organizational performance. Middle-level managers must communicate their values in both behaviors and actions. The data collected in this study were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
