Higher Education Career Barometer: Understanding Career Motivation in Higher Education
i-graduate has teamed up with The Leadership Foundation for Higher Education (http://www.lfhe.ac.uk)
to conduct a study examining career motivation and progression in higher education. The study is designed to investigate and analyse career motivation, attraction and retention of staff and changing perceptions about careers in higher education.
Registration for 2008/09 is now closed. The initial phase of the research will run in Winter 2008, involving a small group of approximately 30 UK institutions.
The study will cover both administrative and academic staff, at all levels.
Aggregated and anonymised results from the study will be shared with the sector through a written report (including benchmarking data), published by the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education, and through a launch event in Spring 2009. We hope the report, and the broader study, will facilitate and encourage good practice among higher education institutions, including the enhancement of institutional staff development and recruitment policies.
If successful, we will repeat the study on a larger scale involving both UK and international institutions. For more information, please contact Neeta Barot (neeta.barot@i-graduate.org)
