Synopsis

This volume of Advances in Educational Administration examines discretionary behavior/performance, an emerging yet critical phenomenon for educational organizations to be effective in responding to the complex expectations of the 21st century. Discretionary behavior refers to the employee behavior that is not directly or explicitly recognized by the formal reward system, and in the aggregate promotes the efficient and effective functioning of the organization. Discretionary behaviors of the educational workforce can contribute to maintenance and enhancement of the social and psychological organizational context which supports the task performance and organizational effectiveness.

Review:

Of interest to higher education administrators, education students, and stakeholders involved in the development of effective educational institutions, this collection of twelve articles on the discretionary behaviors of professors and other education professionals examines the ethics and inherent professional tendencies that build institutional strength and explores how duties performed by education practitioners outside of set contractual obligations can affect the development of universities and other programs. Topics discussed include examination of the subjective and dynamic nature of the boundary between in-role and extra-role behavior, teachers and transformational leadership, demographic variables and organizational citizenship behavior among community college lecturers, and teacher's supervision of teaching assistants as an assigned role or a discretionary behavior. Contributors include American, Middle Eastern, and Asian academics in education and management fields. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. --Book News Inc. Portland, OR
