• Description:
  One common challenge for faculty is decisions regarding the allocation of time across research, teaching, and service tasks. We investigate faculty time allocation among typical faculty members using latent profile analysis. We examine associations between profile membership and gender and time spent in housework, childcare, and eldercare. We also use competing theories (job enrichment, the effort-reward imbalance model) to investigate profile associations with work-family balance, job satisfaction, affective commitment, and turnover intentions. Four profiles emerge: research focus, teaching focus, a "classic" dual research and teaching focus, and dual teaching and service focus. Women are more likely to be members of the teaching profile compared to the research profile, and the research profile is associated with the fewest housework hours. Classic profile members have the highest work-family balance and job satisfaction, whereas members of the teaching profile are the lowest on each correlate. Results suggest a balance of rewarding and enriching demands yields the most positive outcomes. Description provided by NIOSH
