Workload and Rewards
ADVANCE-affiliated research on faculty workload and reward inequities and the policies and practices academic units can use to enhance fairness in workload and reward distribution.
Authors: O’Meara, K.
Background/Context: Empirical evidence suggests women faculty spend more time in campus service than men, which perpetuates inequality between men and women because research is valued more than service in academic reward systems, especially at research universities. Purpose/Focus of Study: In this study I apply insights from research on gender inequality to examine whether women and men faculty at a research university were thinking about their campus service differently.
