From the Paper:

"On the same account, Coats (2000) investigated the impact of departmental chairperson's interpersonal comportment on the directly proportionate leadership effectiveness and the related job satisfaction of the administrative staff. Research indicated that successful community college chairpersons believed in establishing and maintaining cordial relationships with their admin staff as a means to accomplish challenging working milieu and highly contented and motivated workforce (Coats, 2000, p. 773- 783). Another study indicated that the job satisfaction of the presidents that is the top management determines the job satisfaction of the administrative staff in the community college ambience. Thereupon, uninterrupted communication lines must be present and justified needs of the community college presidents must be promptly answered in order to have a successful, motivated environment (Evans, G., Jr., & Honeyman, D., 1998, p. 47- 48)."
