Developing Faculty as Scholars

Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 2

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session examines the complex interplay of individual motivation, institutional structures, and cultural contexts in shaping faculty research development and scholarly engagement. Across diverse international settings, presenters explore how personal characteristics, such as perseverance and goal orientation, interact with institutional support and expectations to influence research success. The session also considers how faculty navigate evolving definitions of scholarship, including changing career trajectories and post-retirement roles within academia. Emphasis is placed on understanding the motivational processes and organizational conditions that foster sustained research engagement and creativity. Together, these studies highlight the dynamic nature of scholarly identity formation and offer insights into how institutions can more effectively support faculty as evolving scholars throughout the academic lifecycle.
