How Chairpersons Enhance Faculty Research: A Grounded Theory Study.

Creswell, John W.; Brown, Martha L.

Review of Higher Education, v16 n1 p41-62 Fall 1992

A study examined how department chairpersons enhanced research performance of college and university faculty. By applying grounded theory methods to a corpus of 33 interviews with chairpersons, the study resulted in a typology of chair roles (administrative, advocacy, interpersonal), then assessed the process of assistance for faculty at four career stages.
