The objective of the current research is to know the degree to which the principals of fine arts institutes practice the management by exception according to the dimensions (determining authority and responsibilities, delegating authority, time management, and evaluating performance) from the point of view of the male and female vice principals, and which of these dimensions has priority in the management by exception, and the significance of the differences in the degree to which principals of fine arts institutes practice the management by exception is defined according to the dimensions (determining authority and responsibilities, delegation of authority, time management, and performance evaluation) from the point of view of the male and female vice principals according to the variables of (gender, and educational qualifications). To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher adopted the management by exception questionnaire prepared by (Khalaf Allah, 2017), which includes (28) items, distributed into (4) dimensions. Its validity and reliability were verified, and then it was applied to the research sample of (148) male and female vice principals, and the data obtained from the sample were analyzed using the weighted mean and the relative weight, and the results concluded that determining the authority and responsibility dimension was achieved to a good degree, while the other (3) dimensions were achieved in a medium degree from the point of view of the male and female vice principals. In addition, the results showed that there is no significant statistical difference in the views of the sample members in all dimensions according to the gender variable, while there was an effect of the educational qualification variable in the point of view of the sample members in (3) dimensions, the difference was in favor of the point of view of the sample members with a bachelor degree. Based on that, the researcher came with a number of recommendations to the principals of the fine arts institutes, including: paying attention to the deviations that occur in the course of work, which move away from the standards set to achieve the goals, and intervention in a timely manner to modify the course of these deviations, ensuring the knowledge of the exacerbation of the error, and to ensure the achievement of objectives set according to the drawn plans. In addition, the researcher suggested conducting a number of future studies, including: administration by exception for principals of the fine arts institutes and its relationship to the effectiveness of administrative performance.
