Evaluation of Administrators by Subordinates: A Cafeteria Approach. AIR 1986 Annual Forum Paper.
Budig, Jeanne E.
The use and refinement of an innovative administrative evaluation system that has been operational at Vincennes University Junior College (Indiana) for 5 years are described. All professional university employees are annually given the opportunity to evaluate all personnel with supervisory responsibility who are above them in the chain of command. The purpose of the evaluation is self-improvement. The "cafeteria system" allows each administrator to select those items on which he or she will be evaluated, and also includes a university-wide core of items on which all staff members are evaluated. The evaluation instrument, which is appended, contains 99 items. Each respondent chooses 15 items on which he/she will be rated from the following categories: evaluating personnel; community relations; openness and flexibility; planning, budgeting, and prioritizing; leadership; personnel management; communication; overall perception of performance; promotion of quality programming; and organization. Each staff member is also rated on 15 core items, which are listed. A sample rating form for an administrator at the college is included. (SW)
