The primary aim of this study was to determine the characteristics that current chairpersons in restorative dentistry, general dentistry, prosthodontics, and operative dentistry departments in U.S. dental schools feel are most relevant in contributing to their success. The secondary aim was to determine these individuals' rankings of the importance of a listed set of characteristics for them to be successful in their position. All 82 current chairs of the specified departments were invited to respond to an electronic survey. The survey first asked respondents to list the five most essential characteristics to serve as chair of a department and to rank those characteristics based on importance. Participants were next given a list of ten characteristics in the categories of management and leadership and, without being aware of the category of each individual item, asked to rank them in terms of importance for their success. A total of 39 chairpersons completed the survey (47.6% response rate; 83.3% male and 16.2% female). In section one, the respondents reported that leadership, vision, work ethic, integrity, communication, and organization were the most essential characteristics for their success. In section two, the respondents ranked the leadership characteristics as statistically more important than the management characteristics (p<0.0001) for being successful in their positions.
本研究的主要目的是确定美国牙科学校修复牙科、普通牙科、口腔修复学和牙体牙髓病学系现任系主任认为对其成功最具相关性的特征。次要目的是确定这些人对一系列列出的特征对于他们在职位上取得成功的重要性的排名。所有82位指定系的现任系主任都被邀请回复一项电子调查。该调查首先要求受访者列出担任系主任最重要的五个特征，并根据重要性对这些特征进行排名。接下来，参与者会收到一份在管理和领导类别中的十个特征列表，并且在不知道每个项目类别的情况下，要求他们根据对其成功的重要性对这些特征进行排名。共有39位系主任完成了调查（回复率为47.6%；男性占83.3%，女性占16.2%）。在第一部分中，受访者报告称领导力、远见、职业道德、正直、沟通和组织能力是他们成功的最重要特征。在第二部分中，受访者将领导特征在统计学上列为比管理特征对于他们在职位上取得成功更重要（p<0.0001）。
