The heads of education divisions of 245 colleges and universities in the USA were surveyed regarding their opinions about faculty activities and reward procedures. Tenure, which was viewed as having the greatest effect on faculty behavior, received significantly more attention from decision-making bodies in the colleges, and merit pay received significantly less. Education administrators at top universities and larger universities viewed the desire for reputation as more motivating than did other education administrators. The department chairs believed that internal satisfaction was more of a motivating factor than did deans. The deans rated merit pay, contract renewal, promotion and tenure higher as motivators than did the department heads. Although evaluations of teaching were considered the most important for year-to-year contract renewal, article and book publication were the most important considerations in merit pay, promotion and tenure. A factor analysis grouped faculty activities into three factors: teaching, service, and publication.

In a survey of 1000 professors in schools of business accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), this study examined the nature and functioning of merit pay plans and the level of satisfaction with and extent of participation in the design and implementation of these plans in the subject schools. The findings of this study suggest that while merit pay is a concern of professors in AACSB schools, the perceptions and criticisms of merit pay plans do not differ markedly from those reported in the relevant literature.
