A growing number of researchers are studying emotions in achievement contexts. Most notably, studies on college students (Pekrun, Goetz, Frenzel, Barchfeld, & Perry, 2011;Pekrun, Goetz, Titz, & Perry, 2002) and school teachers (Frenzel, Goetz, Stephens, & Jacob, 2009; NEW FACULTY EMOTIONS 4 Sutton, 2007) revealed emotions have important implications for learning, motivation, and success. New faculty members generally report high levels of satisfaction with their careers, although paradoxically a large proportion also find their work to be very stressful (33% in the first year, 49% in the third, and 71% in the fifth; Olsen & Sorcinelli, 1992;Sorcinelli, 1994).Despite starting careers long sought after, new faculty members face gaps in graduate school training (Austin, 2002), adjustment to a demanding faculty life style, and increased pressure to succeed-factors leaving faculty susceptible to an intense array of emotions that may affect their success, although this has rarely been empirically examined.To address this gap in the research literature, the purpose of the current study was to explore the presence and frequency of emotions among new faculty members, and test how emotions related to their success in the domains of teaching and research. To do so, the researchers utilized a two-phase, exploratory mixed-method research design (Creswell & PlanoClark, 2010): focus groups to discover the emotions experienced by new faculty members, and an online survey to examine how their emotions relate to success in the domains of teaching and research. Prior to describing the methodology and findings, we review the research literature on new faculty members, factors affecting their success, achievement emotions, and studies related to faculty emotions.
