Delegation: The Neglected Aspect of Participation in Decision Making.
Hoy, Wayne K.; Sousa, David A.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v30 n4 p320-31 Dec 1984
Decision making was studied in 55 public secondary schools in New Jersey. Aston's methodology was used and showed that principals who shared decison making had teachers who were more loyal, satisfied, and described the authority structure as less rigid. A distinction was made between delegated and joint decison making. (author/dc).
