The study was designed to appraise administrative and executive effectiveness among men and women executives. A sample of 70 executives (35 men and 35 women) were random selected from health, education, industrial, and organizational departments. Performance of these executives were rated by five of their same sex subordinates (705=350) on Purdue Rating Scale (PRS, Remmers & Hobson, 1951). The findings indicate that the women Administrators were significantly better than the men administrators on Social Responsibility Scale while there was negligible differences between men and women administrators on the other two scales of PRS, namely, Administrative Achievement and Democratic Orientation Scales.
