Academic profession in Australia [EIP 96/1]
An international survey of university academic staff, the immediate purpose of which was to obtain, analyse and compare information about the attitudes, values and work patterns on an international level.
Abstract
This report focuses on selected data for Australia and includes some international perspectives. Data from the wider survey should provide comparative information on questions such as: Who are the academics? How do they see themselves and their work? What motivates academic work? How do they see the academy as contributing to society? What are the significant differences in these dimensions between academic staff of each gender, at different levels in different kinds of institutions and in different countries? This research was funded under the Evaluations and Investigations Programme (EIP).
