Abstract

College and university administrators have claimed that faculty earnings depend primarily on their performance in teaching effectiveness, research and publication, academic citizenship, and community service. This study investigated the determinants of faculty salaries at a predominantly black, four-year university. The six determinants included in the study were years of service, sex, race, rank, degree, and college. Business discipline, doctorate degrees, and academic ranks were found to be the major determinants of faculty salaries. Sex and race were found to have a lesser impact on faculty salaries, and the number of years of service had the least effect. The findings of this study are consistent with those of the studies on major universities. It was shown in this study that many of the important determinants of faculty salaries can be quantified.
