SynopsisShared governance is a term that has been part of the vernacular of higher education for many years, but has often been misunderstood. With current internal and external factors directly impacting colleges and universities nationwide, it is becoming more vital to better understand shared governance. Given the need for institutions to clarify their governance structure and its effectiveness, research developing a scale to provide this information to institutions is a worthwhile line of investigation.With that in mind, the researcher developed the study using three specific governance models as its framework. Specifically, the researcher framed shared governance around how bureaucratic, collegial, or political a college or university is in their governance. Additionally, the researcher also wanted to understand the effectiveness of the governance model at an institution. With this framework in mind, the study was guided by the following research questions: Can a scale be developed to measure how favorably faculty perceive the shared governance model? Can a scale be developed to measure how favorably administrators perceive the shared governance model? Can a scale be developed to inform administrators and faculty of the theoretical lens that helps inform their college or university current shared governance structure (bureaucratic, collegial, political)? Can a scale be developed to measure perceptions of how effective the current shared governance model is at their college or university? The scale development process was used to address the research questions. Specifically the researcher, developed items, conducted expert review to address construct validity, analyzed exploratory factor analysis, analyzed confirmatory factor analysis, and assessed convergent and discriminant validity.This study resulted in a tool that has gone through the scale development process. This study provides future researchers as well as faculty and administration with a scale to better understand the latent concept of shared governance. The scale specifically will provide individuals with a tool to understand their governance model and the perceptions of faculty and administrators in regards to its effectiveness.
