The organizational effectiveness at university was highly related with the qualities of faculty, facilities, and school administrators. In fact, the decision making and administration at school were supported by those faculty and administrators. If the faculty and administrators work well on the school''s daily operation, the university development will be on the way as they planned. Exactly, what made the school faculty operating effectively is the good design of administrative structure at university. For this reason, the school''s administrative structure is also the main focus of this dissertation and it deserves to have a deep look at the following research.
