Delegation: a Power Tool for Department Chairs in Saudi Universities

Abstract

Within the multiple responsibilities for which department chairs are responsible, the skills of delegation make department chairs more effective leaders. Administrative delegation is not a way of escaping responsibilities or avoiding complicated tasks; rather it is a way of building trust and collegiality in the academic department. However, not all delegations produce positive effects or used in away that enhance the development of the people who performed the delegated tasks. Different perspectives and views affect the use of delegation, as the interviews with department chairs and faculty members indicated in this study. Effective delegation entails assigning tasks with a brief explanation of the expected result, express the sense of confidence and trust that the delegated task will be fulfilled. In addition, the sense of appreciation inspires others to reach their potential
