Contrary to the increase in overall satisfaction in the 1999 subset, Rosser found that ethnic minorities perceived the quality of their work lives less positively in 1999 than the 1993 group.
“It may be that disparity in workload and advising responsibilities, the number of students advised, mentoring and role modeling responsibilities and climate issues continue to have an impact on the perceptions of ethnic minority faculty members in higher education,” Rosser says.
Rosser’s study was recently published in Research in Higher Education.
