| Summary |
With the ultimate goal of helping faculty and administrators make effective and positive decisions, Blackburn and Lawrence explain and predict faculty behavior in three key areas: research, teaching, and service and scholarship. They describe how individual and institutional characteristics interact in a way that can help faculty fulfill their academic missions - or can prevent them from doing so. After looking at how faculty spend their time (and why), the authors examine the crucial ways in which faculty and administrative views of the workplace differ - and how these differing views have serious implications for the work environment. In conclusion, the authors use what they have learned as a springboard for speculating on the future of faculty work. Appendixes reproduce the authors' extensive survey instruments and provide technical explanations of the analyses |
