A Survey Tool, Retrenchment Blues and a Career Alternatives Program.

Renner, K. Edward

Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v21 n3 p115-23 1991

A questionnaire and interviews were used to assess personal and professional characteristics of 97 Canadian college faculty reaching age 65 in 2000-2010. It measured career satisfaction, interest in a career alternatives program, and retirement plans. A significant proportion of respondents found little satisfaction in academe and would consider a change. (Author/MSE)
