Insight into Career Motivation in Higher Education: Analysis of Aggregated Results from 2009 Benchmarking Study
i-Graduate International Insight - Final Report
Recruiting, motivating and retaining talented staff, and encouraging both staff development and career progression, are key challenges for higher education institutions. Roles within higher education are changing significantly and career paths are no longer clearly defined. Understanding Career Motivation in Higher Education was developed by i-graduate in consultation with the Leadership Foundation and 26 HEIs across England, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The study intended to help identify, among other aspects, how academic and professional staff within the sector perceive these changes and how they affect motivation, career aspirations and decisions. The study was specifically intended to help HEIs narrow the gap between career motivation and employer understanding.
