@report {1311061, title = {New Challenges, New Priorities: The Experience of Generation X Faculty}, year = {2010}, institution = {Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education }, address = {Cambridge}, abstract = { This study explores how Generation X (born 1964-1980) faculty are approaching their jobs, long-term careers, and work-life balance, and examines if and how the generational {\textquotedblleft}clashes{\textquotedblright} reportedly arising in the workforce are being manifested in the academic environment. The study was designed to complement and build upon the coache Tenure-Track Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey by using qualitative interviews to explore many of the same themes in greater depth with a limited number of participants, and provide insights into how those themes play out in the day-to-day lives of individual faculty members. While the survey provides a snapshot of how tenure-track faculty are feeling about their current job situation, this study examines the broader context of faculty members{\textquoteright} long-term careers, and the interplay between their work and non-work lives. }, url = {http://coache.gse.harvard.edu/files/gse-coache/files/coache_genx-newchallengesnewpriorities_2010.pdf?m=1456518493}, author = {Robin Helms} }
