Abstract

The authors surveyed full-time, first-year seminar faculty members to examine their persistence and attrition. Results show marked differences in the patterns of responses made by persisting and non-persisting faculty as regards internal motivators and external rewards. Based on the findings of this survey, recommendations are provided for maintaining and enhancing faculty involvement.
