The effect of management style upon resident students' evaluations of student advisors was examined. Student ratings of the 9.9 managers, considered to be the most effective of the five basic approaches found in Blake and Mouton, were compared to the ratings of advisors using other styles. The 17 student advisors in the York College residence facilities were administered the "Self Assessment of Key Managerial Orientations" form of Blake and Mouton. It was found that 47 percent of the advisors use the 9.9 management style, 35 percent use the 5.5 style, and 18 percent use the 1.9 style. All 590 York College dormitory residents were asked to rate their student advisors on a scale of 1 (poor) to 4 (excellent) on the overall performance item of the student advisor evaluation form. The 297 survey forms returned revealed that students rated 9.9 managers significantly higher than 5.5 advisors, but not higher than 1.9-style advisors. It was recommended that high concern for students, as reflected in the 1.9 and 9.9 management styles be emphasized in the selection and training of student advisors in order to promote improved advisor-student rapport.
