The Job Characteristics of Academic Leaders: A Pilot Study

Abstract

This is a study of academic staff occupying formal administrative positions within the university framework of Nigeria. The intention of the study was to see whether there were significant managerial job differences between academic leaders and conventional industrial leaders. The important difference between the two roles related to time spent in the office (25.7 per cent for academics and 51 per cent for those managers in industry).
