Faculty Perceptions of Institutional Commitment to the Scholarship of Engagement
Huyser, Mackenzi A.
Journal of Research on Christian Education, v13 n2 p251-285 Fall 2004
This study examined social perceptions that full-time faculty hold about their institutional commitment to the scholarship of engagement. The sample included full-time faculty (n = 274) serving in member institutions of the Association of Reformed Institutions in Higher Education (ARIHE) in the United States. Two primary research questions were explored. The first examined social perceptions in 3 categories: faculty colleagues, institutional mission, and faculty reward system. Strong (positive) perceptions were reported for faculty colleagues and institutional mission, but not faculty reward system. The second examined social perceptions based on 7 independent variables. Results of analysis found significance (p less than 0.05) with faculty workload requirements. (Contains 22 tables.)
