Because effective mid-level management is becoming increasingly important in dental education, this study attempted to determine the primary attributes of a chair's role. Using the results from one school's faculty evaluation of its department chairs, a factor analysis was conducted to uncover the underlying dimensions of chair behavior. Four factors emerged: "Departmental Management," "Extradepartmental Relations," "Interpersonal Relations," and "Planning Skills." Chairs rated each of the four factors to be of more importance to faculty job satisfaction than did the faculty themselves. Top-level administrators can use knowledge of these basic factors to aid chairs in improving their administrative skills. In addition, to examine the validity of the logically derived scales initially identified during survey development, the scales were compared to the factors surfacing in this study and to the results of two previous factor analyses.
由于有效的中层管理在牙科教育中变得越来越重要，本研究试图确定系主任角色的主要属性。利用一所学校教师对系主任的评价结果，进行了因子分析，以揭示系主任行为的潜在维度。出现了四个因素：“部门管理”、“部门外关系”、“人际关系”和“规划技能”。系主任认为这四个因素中的每一个对教师工作满意度的重要性都高于教师自己的评价。高层管理人员可以利用这些基本因素的知识来帮助系主任提高他们的管理技能。此外，为了检验在调查开发过程中最初确定的逻辑推导量表的有效性，将这些量表与本研究中出现的因素以及之前两项因子分析的结果进行了比较。
