Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to determine the level of deans' performance of plasma leadership behaviors, based on the perspectives of academics working at state universities in Ankara. In addition, this study aims to analyze the roles of deans, in higher education within the framework of the plasma leadership concept. By identifying the similarities and differences between these roles, the study seeks to contribute to the management processes in Turkish higher education. Another goal is to advance management practices in higher education by highlighting the significance and functionality of plasma leadership within the educational management framework. Consequently, the study also aims to offer innovative perspectives on the duties of deans within the scope of plasma leadership.
A quantitative research design has been adopted to fulfill these objectives. The level of deans' performance of plasma leadership behaviors were analyzed across several variables, as perceived by faculty members. The population of the study includes 15,846 academics employed at state universities in Ankara, with a sample group of 376 participants. The research utilized the "Multi Dimensional Plasma Leadership Scale," developed by Erçetin and Çevik (2021), adapted for the higher education context to measure deans' plasma leadership behaviors. Nonparametric tests were used for data analysis. The findings suggest that while demographic factors such as gender, seniority, and faculty affiliation may not significantly impact the perceptions of deans' plasma leadership behaviors, the length of time an academician has worked with the dean plays a crucial role in shaping these perceptions.
