Abstract: The overall purpose of the study was to examine perceptions of home economics administrators' leadership behavior by administrators and faculty members. Another purpose was to determine if there was a relationship among faculty members' perceptions of their administrators' leadership behavior and university enrollment, faculty rank, and tenure status. Participants included home economics administrators and faculty members in departments of home economics of state colleges and universities in 12 southern states. The Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire was used to determine perceptions of administrators and faculty members. The instrument contained 100 items to which subjects responded using a frequency scale. Factors assessed by the LBDQ were Consideration, Integration, Persuasion, Predictive Accuracy, Production Emphasis, Reconciliation, Representation, Role Assumption, Structure, Superior Orientation, Tolerance of Freedom, and Tolerance of Uncertainty.
