Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Chamberlain, Mitchell

Journal of Higher Education, v68 n2 p212-27 Mar-Apr 1997

Factor analysis of survey data from 209 administrators and 384 faculty at six Tennessee state universities identified six distinctive attitudes concerning research orientation; teaching orientation; rewards influence research; rewards influence teaching; personal interest; and mission of the university. Analysis revealed that administrators disagreed with professors on three of these: teaching orientation, rewards influence teaching, and mission of the university. (Author/MSE)
