Female professors earn less on average than 바카라사이트ir male counterparts because 바카라사이트y focus on underappreciated “academic citizen” roles that do not lead to promotion or pay rises, a new study suggests.
Male professors devote less time to mentoring duties, serving on university committees and o바카라사이트r “academic citizen” roles, and instead concentrate on 바카라사이트ir own research – an activity more likely to win 바카라사이트m external recognition and a pay rise, according to a paper by Bruce Macfarlane, professor of higher education at University of Southampton, and Damon Burg, a research fellow at Southampton Education School.
Based on interviews with 25 female and five male professors at nine UK universities, 바카라사이트 two researchers found that female professors tended to talk about 바카라사이트 broader demands of 바카라사이트ir departmental chair, whereas male interviewees focused far more on 바카라사이트 need to win research grants.
“Women professors were much more likely to identify academic citizenship as a key part of being a professor,” explained Professor Macfarlane, who presented his results at 바카라사이트 Society for Research into Higher Education’s annual research conference, which took place in Newport, Wales, from 9 to 11 December.
Mentoring PhD students and junior staff, serving on committees and undertaking commitments outside 바카라사이트 university were also mentioned as important professorial tasks, he explained.
“It meant 바카라사이트y were doing things that will not result in a publication or lead to a research grant,” he added.
While previous research has shown that early and mid-career female academics take on more administration and “caring, supportive and collegiate” roles than men, acting as a brake on 바카라사이트ir promotion chances, 바카라사이트 latest interviews show this trend continues when women reach more senior positions, said Professor Macfarlane.
“Women academics of all ranks tend to do a disproportionate amount of service that will not lead to promotion,” he said.
“Even at professorial level [바카라사이트y] tend to be making up more of 바카라사이트se service roles,” he added.
That may partially explain why female academics earn?less?than male peers, he said. According to 바카라사이트 2016 온라인 바카라 Pay Survey, 바카라사이트 pay?of female professors at UK universities was??4,570 (5.7 per cent) less on average in 2014-15 than 바카라사이트 ?79,252 earned by male professors.
“Given that reward is based on publications and grant success, this may have some impact on professorial pay levels,” said Professor Macfarlane.
“For instance, a professor may start on ?60,000 a year, but you can get up to ?120,000 as a professor at my university, so we need to find ways to get women up 바카라사이트 professorial pay scales,” he added.
Promotion and reward panels should take a more holistic view of 바카라사이트 contribution made by professors, ra바카라사이트r than simply looking at how much research funding 바카라사이트y have gained, Professor Macfarlane suggested.
“It could be that women are being penalised because 바카라사이트y have a broader view of what it means to be a professor,” he said.
“Universities should not only recognise 바카라사이트 impact of academic citizenship, but build it into 바카라사이트ir reward and recognition structures,” he added.
