Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the relationship between communication competence, self-control and professional excellence in the academic heads of universities. It was hypothesized that communication competence and self-control are correlated with the professional excellence. The data was collected from heads of the departments, institutes and colleges of universities. The well-established measures were used to collect data, i.e., Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale (SPCC) by McCroskery (1988), Desirability of Control Scale by Burger and Cooper (1979) and Professional Excellence Scale was self-developed (Saddiqa & Tariq, 2016). Results showed significant relationship between communication competence and professional excellence. Self-control has positive relationship with the professional excellence. It indicates that the Self-control is behind successful heads of departments. The results were discussed in comparison to the indigenous and western literature.
