A random sample of 157 of the 265 agricultural/extension faculty listed in the 1993 "Directory of Teacher Educators in Agriculture" were mailed surveys regarding their perceptions of faculty productivity. Usable responses were received from 102 (65%) faculty. The respondents' ranged in age from 28-64 years (average age, 46). Ninety-two percent held doctoral degrees, 90% were professors (full, associate, or assistant), and nearly 71% were tenured. On average, they devoted 18% of their time to research. Seventy-one percent had graduate research involvement, 65% had directed/co-directed research, and 16% had no involvement in research. On a 5-point scale, respondents ranked the importance of faculty productivity components as follows: teaching (3.76), advising (3.66), publishing (3.59), research (3.50), extension (3.49), service (3.33), and professionalism (3.27). According to a t-test and analyses of variance, responses were significantly correlated with the following respondent characteristics: nature of position (tenured versus nontenured), years of experience at present institution, involvement in graduate student research, and experience as a research project director/codirector. It was recommended that faculty be provided with opportunities for advising undergraduate students and serving on graduate committees and be given training to help them develop expertise in writing.
