ABSTRACT

Although many academics in the United States assume that work-life balance, especially for women, is better at teaching-intensive colleges than at research-intensive universities, there is no systematic data to support this belief. We analyzed survey data from 909 faculty at a research-intensive public university, a masters-level public college, and two private colleges to test this assumption. Consistent with their reputation, faculty at the three teaching-intensive colleges reported family/personal life-friendlier departments. Yet we found no difference in work-life integration between faculty at the research university and those at the colleges. After we introduced having a family/personal life-friendly department as a mediator, the faculty at the research university reported more work-life integration than those at the colleges. The assumption that teaching-intensive colleges offer better work-life balance constitutes one layer in the leaky pipeline that reduces the number of women academics working at research universities, thereby reproducing the gender hierarchy in US higher education.

美国的性别、高等教育机构类型和教师工作与生活的融合

摘要

尽管美国的许多学者认为工作与生活的平衡,尤其是对女性而言,在教学密集型大学比在研究密集型大学更好,但没有系统数据支持这一观点。我们分析了来自一所研究型公立大学、一所硕士级公立大学和两所私立大学的 909 名教师的调查数据,以检验这一假设。与他们的声誉一致,三所教学密集型学院的教师报告了家庭/个人生活友好的部门。然而,我们发现研究型大学的教员和学院的教员在工作与生活的整合方面没有差异。在我们介绍了一个家庭/个人生活友好的部门作为调解员之后,研究型大学的教员报告说,他们的工作与生活融合程度高于大学的教员。
