 \n# Work,Relationships,and Rewards in Student Affairs:Differences by Institutional Type\n\nJoan B.Hirt,Denise Collins*  \nThe differences among students who attend different types of colleges anduniversities are well documented in the literature.Variations in facultyroles by institutional type have also been examined.Yet disparities in theworklife of student affairs administrators have remained largelyunexplored.Responses from a national sample of professionals suggestsignificant differences in the nature of the work they do,the relationshipsthey have with constituencies,and the rewards they value based on wherethey work  \nThe literature on constituency groups and institutional classifications in highereducation reflects some interesting patterns.Consider the issue of students.Thereis ample evidence that different types of students enroll at different types ofinstitutions.Older and minority students enroll in disproportionately largernumbers at community colleges,for example,while traditional aged(18-24)andWhite students dominate at public and private four-year institutions(Pascarella &Terenzini,1991).  \nA second major constituency on campus is the faculty.The differences in facultyroles by institutional type are also fairly well documented.Those at researchinstitutions are expected to produce and disseminate new knowledge while thoseat liberal arts institutions and community colleges exert greater efforts ininstruction and service.Indeed,there are conceptual models that describe thedifferences in faculty life by institutional type(Bergquist,1992)and studies on therelationship between faculty productivity and type of institution(Finnegan &Gamson,1996;Smart,Kuh,&Tierney,1997).  \nGiven the extent of the literature on students and faculty,it might be presumedthat information about the third major constituency in institutions of highereducation,administrators,would be equally as prevalent.Such is not the case,however.Johnsrud's(2002)summary of the research on administrators overthe past 19 years reveals only 11 such studies.This is somewhat surprisingsince the number of administrative staff has grown at a rate much higher thanthe number of faculty members in recent years(Gumport &Pusser,1995)and  \nTHE COLLEGE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS JOURNAL  \n## Work Relationships,and Rewards in Student Affairs\n\nat times administrators have outnumbered faculty members by as much as two toone (Johnsrud &Rosser,1999).  \nThe scholarship on higher education administrators can be categorized inthree groups:descriptive studies,studies that explore attitudes,and those thatexplore behaviors (Johnsrud,2002).Descriptive studies dominate this body ofwork.For example,scholars have identified the functions administrators fulfillon campus and have described the roles they assume in managing campuspolicies and procedures (Johnsrud&Rosser,1999).Others have examined theprocess of administrative promotion (Johnsrud,Sagaria,&Heck,1992;Sagaria&Johnsrud,1988,1992).  \nThe focus of the second group of studies is attitudinal factors of administrators.Johnsrud and Rosser(1999)examined the issue of morale among mid-leveladministrators.Issues of role conflict and role ambiguity have also beenexplored(Wolverton,Wolverton,&Gmelch,1999).The research on behavioralissues among administrators is the most limited in scope.The behavior mostfrequently examined is intent to leave the job(Johnsrud,Heck,&Rosser,2000).  \nThe administrators included in these studies,however,are typically academicadministrators(Johnsrud,Sagaria,&Heck,1992;Sagaria &Johnsrud,1992)whoare mid-to high-level professionals(Wolverton,Wolverton,&Gmelch,1999).Research on student affairs administrators has taken a somewhat differentapproach:studies have focused on the status of the profession and the skills andcharacteristics of successful professionals.  \nThe body of work on the status of student affairs can be conceptualized inseveral groups.The first includes commentaries about the degree to whichstudent aff","cbCaiuANAuOFy1b3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuANAuOFy1b3","pdf",1552373,16,"English","#
