Abstract: The concern of this investigation was chiefly with a description of faculty perceptions of and expectations for the dean of instruction's leader behavior as compared with similar ratings by the president and the dean himself. In this study the faculty were referred to as subordinates and the presidents were referred to as superiors. Perceptions of leader behavior reflect the different styles of leader behavior in which educational administrators engage in interacting with and relating to their various reference groups. Expectations of leader behavior reflect the different roles which administrators must seek to fulfill in the course of their duties. Previous studies suggest that educational administrators adopt different styles of leader behavior in dealing with different groups, and that they experience role conflict stemming from conflicting perceptions and expectations of superiors and subordinates.
