Studies show that collaboration between student affairs and academic affairs departments on college campuses has not happened consistently, but there is limited research examining the influence that leadership style and worker engagement have on the coordination between departments. This research study examined the role that the experience of relational leadership and a worker's level of work engagement have on a student affairs professional's experience of relational coordination with the academic affairs departments within their organization. This quantitative non-experimental multi-variate research study of student affairs professionals working within Christian higher education contexts used three validated surveys to study each of these three constructs and use regression analysis to identify the predictive relationship between the variables of the experience of relational leadership and work engagement on relational coordination. Experience of relational leadership was measured using the Relational Leadership Scale, work engagement was measured using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and relational coordination was measured using the Relational Coordination Survey. The results of this study provided significant evidence that relational leadership predicted the relationship between relational leadership and relational coordination in the sample used in this research. This study did not find significant evidence that work engagement was correlated with relational coordination. This finding is significant because it addressed a gap in the literature and provides student affairs professionals with a foundational starting point by which they can increase relational coordination and, in turn, collaborate as co-educators in supporting students in meaningful ways.
