How Chairpersons Enhance Faculty Research: A Grounded Theory Study

Abstract

This study examined how academic department chairpersons enhance the research performance of college and university faculty. Applying grounded theory methods to a national data base of thirty-three interviews with academic department chairpersons, the authors developed a typology of chair roles (administrative, advocacy, and interpersonal), then assessed the process of assistance for faculty at four career stages. The article includes a conceptual model and propositions for future testing.
