Rosenthal, R. (2008). Those who would not serve: Factors influencing community college faculty members’ interest in applying for administrative positions. (Doctoral Dissertation). UC Davis.

Some key findings◦ 56.4% of respondents reported no future interest

in applying for administrative position◦ 55% declared that getting faculty interested in

administrative positions was either “very” or “extremely” important.

Some key findings◦ Three factors were deemed as “somewhat

positive.” These factors were: The ability to affect change at a broader level The ability to give back to their department/college Administrative salary levels.

Faculty early in their careers distinctly valued the increased administrator’s salary and corresponding retirement benefits but an increased salary level diminished as an incentive with faculty’s years of service.

Some key findings◦ Four factors were deemed as negative. These

factors were: 12-month on-campus work schedule Limited contact with students Perceived stress in position 40-50 hours per week on-campus work schedule

the determination shall be developed and agreed upon jointly by representatives of the governing board and the academic senate, and approved by the governing board. The agreed upon process shall include reasonable procedures to ensure that the governing board relies primarily upon the advice and judgment of the academic senate to determine that the administrator possesses the minimum qualifications for employment as a faculty member.

Where do we want our administrators to come from? If not from faculty, where?

What processes exist on our campuses that can help us to identify good administrative candidates?

How can we improve the pool of candidates for administrative positions?
