dc.description.abstractLeadership is one of the most essential determinants of success in organizations. Strong and adaptable leadership is particularly important in postsecondary settings due to an increasingly complex and dynamic social, economic and policy context. There is no literature concerning department chairs originating in western Canada, and what is available, predominantly from the United States, indicates that most postsecondary intuitions do not provide formal training to department chairs. This area of research is important because the actions of department chairs can dramatically affect a university’s effectiveness and productivity. The study explores how faculty members in the role of department chair at a publicly-funded Canadian university experience leadership development. It also examines department heads’ perceptions about the efficacy of leadership development programs available to them. The epistemological stance that guides the study is constructionism, which recognizes that knowledge is uniquely constructed by each individual and that learning is contextual and occurs through creative experimentation. A case study design is being used and interviews with faculty members who are currently in the role of department chair will be conducted until saturation is reached.en_US
