Abstract
This study investigates the effect of administrative style, in particular the degree to which staff perceive that they participate in decision making, on morale in a tertiary institution. Findings indicate that staff morale is significantly related to the degree of participation, and also lend support to the Herzberg two‐factor theory of job satisfaction.
