Decision Making in School-Based Management Leadership Councils: The Impact of Council Membership Diversity.

Robertson, Peter J.; Kwong, Sophia S.

Urban Review, v26 n1 p41-54 Mar 1994

Responses from 682 members of school-based leadership councils in Los Angeles (California) demonstrate how a council's decision-making quality is affected by 5 dimensions of council diversity. Diversity of role and tenure is related to decision-making quality, but ethnic and gender diversity and diversity in experience are not. (SLD)
