Show moreThis dissertation investigated the influence of university presidents and business school deans on fundraising performance at public research universities. Drawing on strategic choice theory, upper echelons theory, and transformational leadership theory, this research suggests that managerial power and transformational leadership behaviors moderate the relationship between an institution’s fundraising strategy and its performance. To test these hypotheses, data on strategic choice, managerial power, leadership behaviors, and leader demographics were collected from 79 U.S. public research universities for fiscal years 2017–2021. Panel regression, specifically random-effects generalized least squares regression models, tested the hypotheses. The study found that university presidents and business school deans who exhibited transformational leadership behaviors, had higher fundraising outcomes. Furthermore, the study identified a significant positive effect of a dean’s prior work experience at prestigious institutions on a business school’s fundraising performance. This implies that deans hailing from elite institutions might possess qualities or networks that significantly enhance fundraising outcomes.

The study sought to determine deans of students’ definitions for crisis and crisis management with an analysis of the institutional chain of command for a more in depth understanding of crisis management response processes. The study also sought to identify development levels of deans of students’ leadership competencies as crisis managers, gauge crisis management training frequencies for each dean of students as it related to 14 crisis scenarios commonly found on higher education campuses, and identify crisis management program foci for the institutions participating in this study.
