This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education systems have changed all over the world, but not all have changed in the same ways. Although system growth and so-called massification have been worldwide themes, there have been system-specific changes as well. It is these changes that have an important impact on academic work and on the opinions of the staff that work in higher education. The academic profession has a key role to play in producing the next generations of knowledge workers, and this task will be more readily achieved by a contented academic workforce working within well-resourced teaching and research institutions. This volume tells the story of academics’ opinions about the changes in their own countries. The Changing Academic Profession (CAP) survey has provided researchers and policy makers with the capacity to compare the academic profession around the world. Built around national analyses of the survey this book examines academics’ opinions on a range of issues to do with their job satisfaction. Following an introduction that considers the job satisfaction literature as it relates to higher education, country-based chapters examine aspects of job satisfaction within each country.

Book Synopsis A Comparative Study of Faculty Job Satisfaction by : Danyelle Williams Ackall

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study considers the job satisfaction of faculty at a private, four-year, large university. As faculty are forward-facing, customer-serving, grant-receiving employees who directly impact the bottom line, monitoring their job satisfaction is similar to a wellness check; done regularly, one can find otherwise unknown issues before they become detrimental to the health of the organization. A survey created by Smerek and Peterson (2007) was modified to fit the population under study. The survey questions were grouped by job factors identified in the Two-Factor Theory by Herzberg et al. (1959) and used a 6-point Likert scale. Additional questions were employed to assess how recent events impacted job satisfaction. Data were analyzed by faculty status, college of appointment, gender, and minority status. Although not irrefutable, the data show that despite negative perceptions of total compensation and senior management, faculty have job satisfaction driven by satisfaction with the work itself and good relationships with co-workers and direct supervisors. In other words, faculty find satisfaction in the work, but not the work environment.

Download or read book Ivory Tower and Industrial Innovation written by David C. Mowery and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s, universities in the United States have greatly expanded their patenting and licensing activities. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee, among other authorities, have argued that this surge contributed to the economic boom of the 1990s. And, many observers have attributed this trend to the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. Using quantitative analysis and detailed case studies, this book tests that conventional wisdom and assesses the effects of the Act, examining the diverse channels through which commercialization has occurred over the 20th century and since the passage of the Act.
Book Synopsis THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEPTIONS OF FIT AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF IN A MIDWESTERN UNIVERSITY by : Mohammed Issah

This book was released on 2013 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been growing recognition among organizational behavior practitioners and researchers of the importance of the different types of fit in a work environment. Previous research established relationships between fit and job satisfaction in professional fields including education. However, fit research in the higher education context has tended to focus on students and faculty. An important and understudied stakeholder in higher education is administrative staff members. Higher education is going through substantial changes in the face of increased demand for accountability, increased diversity, and budget cuts among other issues. As such the responds by public universities like Midwestern universities affects not only academic programs, faculty, and students but also the administrative structure. The few research on perceived fit and job satisfaction among administrative staff members in higher education lack either breadth or depth. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between perceived fit (Person-Job (P-J) Fit, Person-Organization (P-O) Fit) and Job satisfaction among administrative staff members in a Midwestern public university, as well as the subscales of the primary variables. The study used a correlational design to examine the relationship between the primary variables and their subscales. Accordingly, the research study addressed administrative staff members' level of perceived fit with the university environment and job satisfaction; the ability of perceived person-environment fit to predict job satisfaction among administrative staff members; the relationships among characteristics of administrative staff members (e.g., level of education, age, gender, and years of service) with job satisfaction and perceived fit with the university environment. The total number of participants in this study was 170. Perceived fit was measured using Saks and Ashforth's (1997) measure of Global Perception of Fit. Job satisfaction was measured with the 2009 abridged version of the Job Descriptive Index (aJDI) and the Job in General (aJIG) scale. Correlations, standard regression, analysis of variances (ANOVA), and t-test were used to analyze the data. Overall administrative staff members had average levels of satisfaction with their jobs. The satisfaction levels of administrative staff members was compared to the Job Satisfaction norms established based on a sample of 1400 participants who were obtained through E-Rewards, a company specializing in obtaining samples for marketing research. Stratified sampling by state population was used to ensure that the sample was representative of the US population. Of the five job satisfaction facets, administrative staff members level of satisfaction with the Co-worker (JDI 5), facet was comparable to the 60th percentile score of the US workforce, however, their satisfaction with the Work Itself (JDI 1), Promotion Opportunities (JDI 3), Supervision (JDI 4), and Pay (JDI 2) facets were below the 50th percentile score. Interestingly, however, in the education subsector the respondents had higher percentile scores, 47th and 60th in satisfaction with Pay (JDI 2) and Promotion Opportunities (JDI 3) respectively, than in the US population, Administrative staff members were unsatisfied with Pay (JDI 2) facet. Pearson correlation results indicated significant relationships between the Perceived Fit (P-J, P-O) and Job Satisfaction, and their respective subscales. Person-Job (P-J) fit had the strongest correlation with the Work Itself (JDI 1) facet, and Overall Job Satisfaction. Person-Organization/University (P-O) fit had a moderately strong correlation) with the Co-worker (JDI 5) and Work Itself (JDI 1) facets. Person-Organization/University fit had moderately positive relationships with all five facets of job satisfaction. However, the relationship between P-O fit and Pay (JDI 2) was the weakest. The results of the regression analysis revealed that Perceived P-J fit was the stronger predictor for Work Itself (JDI 1), Pay (JDI 2), Promotion Opportunities (JDI 3), and Job in General (JIG). ANOVA results showed that among the demographic variables age and years of service revealed statistically significant mean difference in satisfaction with the Promotion Opportunities (JDI 3) facet respectively. A t-test indicated significant mean difference between females and males with respect to Perceived Job fit. Male administrative staff members perceived to fit better than the females with their jobs. The results of the study support the relationship between Perceived Fit and Job Satisfaction, and the notion that the different types of fit have unique impacts on Job Satisfaction. The findings have implications for leaders in post-secondary educational institutions as well as other organizations. Supervisors can increase the level of satisfaction among administrative staff members with a clear understanding of employee perceptions as well as the facets likely to influence overall job satisfaction. The implications for future research and leadership practice are discussed.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is an empirical examination of the effects of individual differences on the job satisfaction of U.S. postsecondary faculty, as self-reported in the 2004 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF) conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics of the U.S. Department of Education. Individual differences and presumed mediating conditions represented the two blocks of predictors. The former were divided into two distinct groups--Demographics Factors and Human Capital variables and the latter included Institutional Factors and four differential processes--Environmental Selection, Self-Selection, Environmental Rewards, and Affective Reactions to Events and Conditions. These last four are consistent with Motowidlo's (1996) theory of individual differences in job satisfaction, which served as the theoretical framework. Job satisfaction was the criterion. It was defined as both satisfaction with instructional activities and satisfaction with employment conditions and was measured by two separate but corresponding indices. These were examined under conditions of normative and experienced favorability, two job satisfaction constructs developed by Motowidlo (1996). The project falls under the category of non-experimental cross-sectional explanatory research studies. Four types of data analyses were conducted. The first examined which individual differences and presumed mediating conditions affected job satisfaction under conditions of normative and experienced favorability. The second analysis involved controlling for mediating conditions under these two conditions. Judd and Kenny (1981) developed the statistical procedure followed for mediation testing. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was the method of choice. The focus of analysis was on the incremental effect ( R 2 change) of the individual differences and not on the singular effects of the dummy variables that composed each variable. The third analysis examined percentage distribution of Age, Gender, and Race/Ethnicity in institution type (i.e., Carnegie) and jobs (i.e., Principal Activity). Finally, the fourth analysis investigated the distribution of Age, Gender, and Race/Ethnicity in relation to job rewards at the participating institutions. Results suggest that individual differences in fact affect job satisfaction. This validated two of Motowidlo's (1996) job satisfaction constructs (normative and experienced favorability) in the context of higher education. Although significant, effect sizes exerted by the individual differences were small. Findings should therefore be viewed with caution.
