Abstract: The purpose of this study, involving community and junior college department chairpersons and division directors, was to determine and then compare the decision-making styles of administrators by participative and nonparticipative categories, by sex, and by discipline groups of physical education and non-physical education. Community and junior college department chairpersons and division directors from the State of Florida, selected by stratified random sampling with equalization of sexes, indicated their preference of decision-making style for each of 30 cases involving problems in higher education based upon the Vroom-Yetton Model. The styles they could indicate were Autocratic I (0 scale value), Autocratic II (.625 scale value), Consultive I (5 scale value), Consultive II (8.125 scale value), and Group II (10 scale value). One hundred and eight chairpersons and directors responded, which was 74% of those who agreed to participate. Data were analysed using frequencies, means, t tests, ANOVA, and chi square.
