Abstract
The research reported in this article found that the behavior of research administrators (46 department chairmen and six research center directors) influenced positively the satisfaction of their re searchers (252 research professors, University of Missouri-Colum bia). To a lesser extent, their behavior also influenced researcher productivity, especially when the administrators followed a re source person-coordinator role model. The study's instruments in cluded 335 question interview-questionnaire schedules for re searchers and 221 item instrument for the administrators. The authors are William F. Glueck, Professor of Management, University of Missouri-Columbia and Cary D. Thorp Jr., Assistant Professor of Management, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.Keywords
