- Summary:
-
"Changing Academic Work explores the competing tensions in contemporary work: the need to balance individualism with collaboration; accountability with reward; and, a valuing of the past with preparation for the future. The aim is to help staff build a contemporary university which is as much a learning organization as an organization about learning. Elaine Martin develops a set of simple but sound principles to guide academic work and, through case study material, she provides engaging and convincing illustrations of these principles in action. She offers insight and guidance for academic staff at all levels who wish to make their working environment more satisfying and productive."--BOOK JACKET.
