Campbell, Annhenrie; Lindsay, David H.; Garner, Don E.; Tan, Kim B.
Contemporary Issues in Education Research, v3 n4 p55-62 Apr 2010
Merit pay for professors to encourage better teaching, research and service is controversial. Its effectiveness can be examined empirically. In this study, the existence of a merit plan and ACT scores of incoming freshmen were strongly associated with measurable research outcomes. Additional study is needed to test the association with the other dimensions of faculty performance.
