Perceptions and preferences on institutional decision-making of the faculty of North-West Frontier Province Agricultural University, Pakistan

The first purpose which guided this study was to determine the perceptions of the present personnel at NWFP Agricultural University, Pakistan regarding the past and present use of models of decision making and their preferences for future decision making. The university was created in 1981 and six years later it was merged with the older and larger provincial agricultural research system. In view of the different traditions, governance, and procedures used in the two systems before merger, investigation of decision making before and after merger as well as preferred future models of decision making seemed necessary and was assumed to be one indicator of the extent to which integration of staff has taken place since 1986. Three models of decision making were used: the bureaucratic, collegial, and political models. Four areas were examined; the institution-in-general, budget and finance, educational and research programs, and personnel. Data for this part of the study were gathered by a questionnaire which was developed and administered to a sample of 375 professional staff.
