Overview

Based at Harvard University, the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education [COACHE] is a consortium of around 250 higher education institutions dedicated to improving faculty outcomes and satisfaction. Among Harvard’s methodologies for success is the Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey, a psychometrically robust mixed methods questionnaire that helps universities better understand the following questions:

  •  How do faculty of different career stages experience academic work life at my institution?
  • How do their experiences compare to those of faculty at peer institutions?
  • Do their experiences differ by rank, tenure status, discipline, gender, or race/ethnicity?
  • What policies or practices are associated with high levels of faculty satisfaction and vitality?
