Results of the COACHE Faculty Satisfaction Survey are available to all full-time faculty and staff. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Planning (OIEP) are data administrators for the project and hold the survey results.
Faculty are at the heart of our academic enterprise. Mason recognizes our success depends on our ability to attract, retain, and support talented faculty.
Our Partnership with COACHE
The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education is a national, research-based initiative designed specifically to understand the job satisfaction of instructional and research faculty. Mason is partnering with COACHE to administer the Faculty Satisfaction and Faculty Retention and Exit surveys.
The COACHE partnership will help Mason:
-
Collect comprehensive data that drills down into areas that impact satisfaction and productivity;
-
Benchmark results to and collaborate with peer institutions to design effective programs, policies and practices to facilitate organizational change and improve faculty outcomes;
-
Develop a more robust picture of faculty retention; and
-
Create Mason-specific action plans to intentionally strengthen faculty well-being and success.
