Variations in the Characteristics of Part-Time Faculty by General Fields of Instruction and Research.
Benjamin, Ernst
New Directions for Higher Education, n104 p45-59 Win 1998
Data from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty are analyzed for patterns in part-time faculty characteristics in vocationally oriented and liberal arts-oriented two- and four-year colleges, by discipline group. Characteristics examined include qualifications, job satisfaction, economic condition (income, additional employment), reasons for accepting part-time employment, teaching practices, and office hours. Implications for quality are discussed. (MSE)
