Higher education systems have changed all over the world, but
not all have changed in the same ways. Although system growth and
so-called massification have been worldwide themes, there have been
system-specific changes as well. It is these changes that have an
important impact on academic work and on the opinions of the staff
that work in higher education. The academic profession has a key
role to play in producing the next generations of knowledge
workers, and this task will be more readily achieved by a contented
academic workforce working within well-resourced teaching and
research institutions. This volume tells the story of academics'
opinions about the changes in their own countries.
The "Changing Academic Profession" (CAP) survey has provided
researchers and policy makers with the capacity to compare the
academic profession around the world. Built around national
analyses of the survey this book examines academics' opinions on a
range of issues to do with their job satisfaction. Following an
introduction that considers the job satisfaction literature as it
relates to higher education, country-based chapters examine aspects
of job satisfaction within each country.
