Addressing the research question “What is the evidence and impact of workload creep on faculty members in faculties of education in Canada?” this article begins to address the lack of empirical evidence addressing the scope and consequences of Canadian faculty members’workload. To date, most research on the workload of Canadian higher education faculty is conceptual in nature, limited methodologically, or conflates data from multiple disciplinary areas. This research is different, focusing on faculties of education in three demographically similar U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities. Through analysis of qualitative in-depth interviewsand comparison with research in different contexts, this article reports on the perceived personal and professional consequences of workload creep in terms of faculty members’  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 42:4 (2019)©2019 Canadian Society for the Study of Education/ Société canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation  \n[www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nmental health, physical health, and productivity. Workload creep undermines traditional notions of valued academic identities.  \nKeywords: workload, higher education, faculty, academic identity  \nRésumé  \nLa littérature soulève l’importance croissante des paramètres mercantiles dans l’administration des principales universités spécialisées dans la recherche; cette situation a entraîné une augmentation de la charge de travail des membres du corps professoral. Répondant à la question de recherche «Quelles sont les preuves et l’impact de la charge de travail sur les membres du corps professoral des facultés d’éducation au Canada?», cet article, ainsi que le projet de recherche qui en découle, tend à relever le manque de preuves tangibles pouvant étayer ce postulat. En effet, il faut savoir que la plupart des recherches sur la charge de travail du corps professoral de l’enseignement supérieur canadien sont de nature conceptuelle: non seulement, elle sont limitées sur le plan méthodologique, mais elles assimilent en outre des données provenant de plusieurs domaines disciplinaires. Cette recherche est néanmoins différente car elle se concentre sur les facultés de sciences éducatives de trois universitésdémographiquement comparables. À travers l’analyse d’entrevues qualitatives approfondies, cet article décrit les sources d’anxiété et de stress, ainsi que leur manifestation au moment de la retraite. L’augmentation de la charge de travail affecte les membres du corps professoral en termes de santé mentale, physique et de productivité. Elle met aussi en périll’intégrité de la démarche académique et universitaire.  \nMots-clés : charge de travail, enseignement supérieur, faculté, identité académique  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 42:4 (2019) [www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nBackground  \nEvidence suggests that the workload of university faculty members has intensified owing to student contact demands, technology, and neoliberal practices of managerialism, accountability, and surveillance (Houston, Meyer, & Paewai, 2006; Kenny, 2018; Shahjahan, 2015). Workload increases have led to significant increases in faculty stress (Kenny, 2018; Smyth, 2017). Informally, I have witnessed faculty members express concerns about increases in international student enrolment without appropriate supports; additional administrative tasks in response to new tracking systems; more frequently assigned teaching in the summer sessions when academic year courses are cancelled for lower-than-optimal enrolment; greater expectations from students for","cbCaiuwvxfGTKyi8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuwvxfGTKyi8","pdf",346710,29,"English","# Background\n# Context\n# Research Question and Scope\n## Evidence and impact of workload creep\n## Consequences: mental health, physical health, productivity","[{\"question\":\"What does the article mean by “workload creep” for university faculty?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to perceived increased pressures from assigned workload, including teaching, supervision, service, and administrative/accountability tasks.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article claim existing research is insufficient?\",\"answer\":\"Most prior studies are conceptual, limited in methodology, or mix data across multiple disciplinary areas, leaving a lack of empirical evidence for Canadian faculties of education.\"},{\"question\":\"What consequences does the article report from workload creep?\",\"answer\":\"Workload creep is linked to perceived impacts on mental health, physical health, and productivity, and it undermines traditional notions of valued academic identities.\"}]","Extent and Consequences of Faculty Members' Workload Creep in Three Canadian Faculties of Education | PDF",1792083809,73]
