Achieving Congruent Actions and Intentions: An Empirical Assessment of Faculty Work in a Regional Public University.
Zey-Ferrell, Mary; Ervin, Delbert
Research in Higher Education, v22 n4 p347-69 1985
Two explanations of congruency of ideal (intent) and actual (action/behavior) work of faculty are examined--reward expectations and referent others. Based on interviews, a survey, and institutional data, it was found that referent others' goals have a greater influence than reward expectations on the congruency of work. (Author/MLW)
