The purpose of this study was to explore the applicability of current industrially oriented management techniques to allied health personnel in both academic and patient care settings. Medical technology, nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy faculty and practitioners at five universities, two community colleges, and five hospitals were surveyed to determine both their preferred and actual administrative behaviors perceived over ten administrative functions. The results revealed a significant difference between the preferred administrative behaviors and those perceived, as well as discrepancies between preferences and current management techniques and concepts.
