Abstract

The article discusses ways to overcome tension between faculty and staff in colleges and universities. It mentions that educational institutions encourage decentralization in governance but the hierarchies in organization result in tensions between faculty and staff members. The article recommends the promulgation of a code of conduct for the school community to follow. It also recommends that school leaders become role models since they influence the attitudes of their members. The article also mentions other ways of improving the work environment including nurturing the community spirit and holding meetings across different levels of the organization.
