Resumen

Los coordinadores académicos juegan un papel esencial en sus instituciones educativas porque trabajan de cerca con el personal docente y administrativo, y con estudiantes para abordar retos importantes. Esta investigación busca examinar las percepciones del personal docente sobre el desempeño organizacional de sus coordinadores académicos en una institución de educación superior en Baja California, México. La investigación se fundamentó en el modelo de Rango Total de Liderazgo instrumentado mediante el Cuestionario Multifactorial de Liderazgo. Los modelos de regresión sugieren que la efectividad organizacional, satisfacción con el trabajo, y esfuerzo adicional muestran correlaciones positivas con conductas de liderazgo transformacional y transaccional. También sugieren que estos factores muestran correlaciones negativas con liderazgo pasivo. La principal conclusión es que los coordinadores de programas académicos deben inspirar al profesorado para obtener cambios positivos, comunicar expectativas de desempeño y criterios de recompensa, y aceptar responsabilidad por los resultados de su departamento. Este estudio es original porque ofrece a instituciones educativas un proceso replicable para evaluar el desempeño de coordinadores académicos, así como recomendaciones para mejorar la efectividad de programas de entrenamiento y desarrollo.
