Driving academic promotion: faculty behind the wheel
Jeannine Nonaillada, Bruce PolskyAbstract
The academic promotion process is best navigated from a mindset that emphasizes individual control in reaching the many landmarks along the way. Drawing on the established psychological theories of locus of control and self-efficacy, the authors propose parallels in concepts that faculty members seeking academic promotion should consider. By marking these points on their individual paths, faculty members can control their efforts to achieve academic promotion.
