Business Feculty Recruitment: The Effects of Full-Time versus Part-Time Employment

Abstract

This study addressed faculty recruitment for community colleges, an issue of immediate importance because many faculty hired during the enrollment boom of the 1960's are retiring. The design for this research was a factorial experiment involving a three-way analysis of variance. The participants (N = 136) were randomly selected male (n = 68) and female (n = 68) business professionals completing the MBA degree. The participants role-played the part of applicants for business department faculty positions by rating jobs described in simulated recruitment advertisements. The ANOVA results indicated that both male and female business professionals preferred part-time rather than full-time teaching positions. Implications for recruitment practice and future research are discussed.

Managerial recruitment: the influence of personality and ideal candidate characteristics

“…With regards to research question three, none of the interaction terms was statistically significant. Finally, supporting prior research employing this research method (Winter and Kjorlien, 2000, 2001), the simulation technique demonstrated considerable utility as it allowed the researchers to successfully collect the data necessary to answer the research questions.…”

Business faculty recruitment : effects of annual salary and health benefits plan.

“…An advertisement of six different positions manipulated the salary and health benefits variable. Prior research in the private sector (Barber, 1998;Rynes, 1991) and the education sector (Winter & Kjorlien, 2001;Winter & Muñoz, 2001) justified use of the simulation technique in the community college context.…”
