Variations in Goal Priorities of Academic Departments: A Test of Holland's Theory

Smart, John C.; McLaughlin, Gerald W.

Research in Higher Education, 2, 4, 377-390, 74

Suggestions indicate how this theory might be employed by university administrators and in subsequent research on the administration of academic departments and the roles of their chairmen.
