Academic Employment Decisions and Gender.

Teevan, James J.; And Others

Research in Higher Education, v33 n2 p141-60 Apr 1992

A study found few gender differences in young college faculty's (n=115) reasons for acceptance, rejection, or resignation of academic positions. Results imply academic recruiting should focus on quality of academic life in the department or institution, accommodating family members' needs, and job security in the form of longer, tenure-track appointments.
