Branch campus leaders description of the main campus administrative, departmental and faculty attitudes toward the branch organization, and their level of job satisfaction and organizational commitment

This study examined branch campus leaders' description of main campus leaders, academic chairpersons and main campus faculty behaviors and its influence on the level of organizational commitment by the branch campus leader. Additionally, this study examined the relationships among branch campus leaders' description of entrepreneurial leadership, autonomy, role clarity, commitment to branch campus and student services for the main campus leader, academic chair, and main campus faculty and branch campus leader age and years in service, and job satisfaction.;The results of this study showed that the more a main campus leader was described as an entrepreneurial leader by the branch campus leader, the less committed the branch campus leader was to the branch organization. In addition, the more the academic chair is described as supportive of student services by the branch campus leader, the lower the level of branch campus leader organizational commitment. Findings also indicated that the more main campus faculties are described as committed to the branch campus by the branch campus leader, the lower the level of branch campus leader organizational commitment. Lastly, this study showed there was a significant negative relationship for the age of the branch campus leader and the level of autonomy that the branch campus leader assigned to the main campus leader.
