Although there has been an increased demand for research, few studies have been conducted directly with university professors to obtain their perceptions of the challenges the increased focus on research have presented. This study employed a qualitative methodology to inquire into the change of work life bought about by the increased demand for research, and the strategies professors have adopted to balance their teaching, research and service. It also inquired into the barriers to conducting research, and effective support strategies. Some barriers and support identified in this study were in accordance with what previous studies have identified. Perhaps because the professors interviewed were all tenured, they noted that the increased demand for research had not significantly changed their work life. Strategies they used to help them meet the demands for research included, but were not limited to, integrating their teaching and research, and collaborating with others on research projects. Barriers to research included bureaucratic constraints, newness to research, lack of time, and lack of funding.展开更多

This study used questionnaires administered to 1 770 teachers from different levels, types, and academic fields of Chinese universities to investigate job satisfaction among university professors and the relationship between job satisfaction of university professors and the organizational characteristics of the university. The job satisfaction of Chinese university professors includes six dimensions: career development and school management, teaching and research services, salary, benefits and logistical services, professional reputation, teaching and research facilities, and the work itself. The overall job satisfaction levels are close to average, with salary and benefits receiving the lowest level of satisfaction. The organizational characteristics of universities, such as school type, school level, academic field, organizational climate, evaluation orientation, and school management, all have significant effects on the overall job satisfaction of university professors. The organizational climate and school level affect all six dimensions of job satisfaction among university professors.展开更多

Prof. Jin graduated in 1959 from Ural Polytechnic College in Svivdelovsk in the former USSR and then completed his post-graduate studies in Tianjin University in China in 1960. Thereafter, he taught at the Chinese University of Science and Technology for 13 years before joining Tsinghua University in 1973. Prof. Yu graduated in 1956 from Tianjin University in China and joined Tsinghua University thereafter. Between 1957 and 1959, Prof. Yu undertook more studies in Moscow Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Technology in the former USSR. During the 1970s, Professors Jin and Yu jointly created the Reaction Engineering Program in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University, which later became one of the largest fluidization research groups in the world, known as FLOTU - Fluidization Laboratory of Tsinghua University.展开更多
