The Enculturation of New Faculty in Higher Education: A Comparative Investigation of Three Academic Departments.
Rosch, Teryl Ann; Reich, Jill N.
Research in Higher Education, v37 n1 p115-31 Feb 1996
A study using both quantitative and qualitative techniques investigated the role of institutional culture in socialization of newly-recruited faculty in social sciences/ humanities departments and compared them with perceptions of current faculty concerning institutional culture and departmental subcultures. Four stages of acculturation are proposed (prearrival, encounter, adaptation, commitment), and process dimensions and developmental tasks for each are identified. (MSE)
