Academic Professionals: A Study of Conflict and Satisfaction in Professoriate
通过验证性因子分析，研究了一所研究型大学教师的专业角色冲突，发现集体决策领域是角色冲突的主要来源，且冲突与工作满意度无关，但与对工作决策的不满显著相关。
Professional role conflicts of faculty in a research university are examined using confirmatory factor analysis. Results support the "compromise model" of professional bureaucracies with three decision arenas. Technical core of teaching function and purely administrative matters rarely create role conflicts while the area of collective decision making is the fertile ground for role incompatibilities of faculty. Role conflicts experienced by faculty are not found to be related to general job satisfaction but are significantly correlated with faculty disaffection in decisions that affect their work and work environment.
