Managing Chronic Excuse-making Behaviors of Faculty

Applying Schlenker's Responsibility Triangle

Lisa A. Burke

Barbara Rau

Managing chronic excuse-making behaviors of faculty can be difficult and challenging for college administrators. In this article, Schlenker's responsibility triangle is applied in the higher education forum to better understand the underpinnings of responsibility and accountability in faculty jobs. Using this framework, attention is given to strategies for preventing excuses from becoming a chronic and unwanted behavior for faculty to use when justifying performance shortcomings.

Key Words: accountability • administrative leadership • excuse-making • higher education
