Abstract
This study investigated the dynamics of shared leadership in university management in
Uganda. Using data from two public universities and a sample of 100 participants, the
results from a univariate analysis show that, the practice of shared leadership in
university has since improved but much felt at the lower and middle-line management
levels. Employing a Factor Analysis, a host of factors influencing shared leadership in a
university management context have been reduced whereby institutional cohesion,
expert contacts and shared responsibility are highly valued factors; mutual support,
communicating institutional expectations, and autonomy and self-management are
moderately valued factors; while networking for a common institutional vision is least
valued as motivators of shared leadership in university management in Uganda. The
researchers concluded that shared leadership can be optimally practiced where a
participative management model prevails to allow room for the vertical distribution of
authority throughout all the institutional structures.
