This book focuses on the changes in academic careers and their
implications for job attachment and the management of academic work.
Against the background of an ageing profession, with different demands
on academic staff, increasing insecurity, accountability and
internationalisation, it discusses important, common themes in detail.
This book examines such aspects as the nature of academic careers and
recent changes in careers, changing biographies, rewards of academic
work such as income and job satisfaction, internationalisation of the
academy, and the organisation and management of academic work sites.
This book is the second of two books highlighting findings from
research on the academic profession, notably, the Changing Academic
Profession Study and the European project supported by the European
Science Foundation on changes in the academic profession in Europe
(EUROAC). An adapted version of the CAP questionnaire has been used to
carry out the survey in those countries that had not been involved
before in the CAP survey. Altogether 19 countries are covered by the
CAP project and an additional seven European countries are covered by
EUROAC.
