The main objective of this article is to investigate the dean's roles and functions from a managerial perspective. It reports the findings of an empirical study con- ducted in selected Canadian universities which tried to identify the dimensions of an effective deanship and find correlates of effective performance for a dean. More specifically, this article focuses on the following variables and their relation- ships: dean's managerial effectiveness, dean's conflict-handling modes, length of time the dean has served in office and size of the dean's faculty.
