The congruence between faculty's and administrators' attitudes toward teaching, research, and the rewards associated with them has implications for the practices the groups follow and for the decisions they make related to promotion, tenure, and merit. This article reports the findings from a national study of allied health faculty and administrators at public academic health centers regarding their attitudes toward teaching, research, and the reward systems related to both. The administrators and faculty at the participating academic health centers did not differ in their views regarding research orientation and rewards related to research. The faculty, including tenured and tenure-track, and department chairs indicated a higher teaching orientation than did the deans, while tenure-track faculty expressed less belief that rewards influence teaching than did tenured faculty, department chairs, and deans. |
