Faculty in Transition: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Role of Perceived Control and Type of Institution in Adjustment to Postsecondary Institutions.
Perry, Raymond P.; Menec, Verena H.; Struthers, C. Ward; Hechter, Frank J.; Schonwetter, Dieter J.; Menges, Robert J.
Research in Higher Education, v38 n5 p519-56 Oct 1997
Three surveys, administered a year apart, to 259 newly hired, tenure track faculty at five colleges found their perception of personal control was a critical factor in emotional well-being, stress level, job satisfaction, by itself or in combination with institution type and time. Faculty at liberal arts and comprehensive colleges had most difficulty adjusting; time had an unexpected negative effect. (Author/MSE)
