Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2005.

In the same way that firms operate to maximize profit, education institutions try to maximize their prestige. One major way of increasing institutional prestige is through faculty members' publications. It is the contention of this thesis that institutions reward faculty for increasing institutional prestige by paying them higher salaries. Marginal productivity theory, which is used to examine the relationships between productivity and labor compensation is used here to examine the relationships between research hours, publication output, productivity and faculty salary.

520 $a In the same way that firms operate to maximize profit, education institutions try to maximize their prestige. One major way of increasing institutional prestige is through faculty members' publications. It is the contention of this thesis that institutions reward faculty for increasing institutional prestige by paying them higher salaries. Marginal productivity theory, which is used to examine the relationships between productivity and labor compensation is used here to examine the relationships between research hours, publication output, productivity and faculty salary.
520 $a Using the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF 93) data, collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (LACES), this dissertation studies the relationships between time spent on research, publication output, productivity, and salary of full-time faculty with Ph.D. degrees in four-year higher education institutions. Due to sample selection bias, this study conducts analyses separately by types of institutions; research doctoral, comprehensive, and liberal arts colleges. This study compares the average productivity of faculty groups, by tenure status and work experience, since the data set is cross-sectional.
520 $a Addressing the research questions with univariate, bivariate, and regression analyses, this study finds that the main activities occupying faculty work time are teaching and research. Marginal productivity theory provided a useful framework for understanding the relationship between time spent on research per week and short-term publication output. Teaching and publishing were negatively correlated for faculty in some institutions and although the relationship between researching and publishing were positive, the law of diminishing returns applied to faculty in all four types of institutions.
520 $a This study also found that senior faculty were as productive as junior faculty, and even more so in some institutions. Institutions should view these highly productive senior faculty as assets not liabilities. Senior faculty have much teaching and research experience that they can offer to students and their juniors. Though, one should note with caution that sample selection bias might be present.
520 $a Marginal productivity theory was applicable to academe to some extent, but not perfectly. All four types of institutions rewarded their faculty for both publication output and productivity.
