Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the validity of an instrument designed to measure university administrator effectiveness and to serve as a model for other validity studies of administrator rating scales. School deans and department chairmen were evaluated by their respective faculty members. It was reasoned that administrators would possess individual differences in effectiveness and that a valid test instrument would indicate such differences. Results showed significant differences among administrators on each factor (p < .01). Significant and high correlations should be expected between the original instrument requiring closed-ended responses and an alternative instrument requiring open-ended responses. All correlations were greater than .82 (p < .001).
