TITLE: Practices in the recruitment and hiring of faculty
for psychology departments in Canadian universities.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1983
JOURNAL: Canadian-Psychology; 1983 Apr Vol 24(2) 105-118
ABSTRACT: Investigated faculty recruitment and hiring
practices of psychology departments in Canadian
universities, as well as the job search experiences of
recently hired male and female faculty. Questionnaires were
sent to 61 departments and 105 faculty, and data from 38
completed department questionnaires and 64 faculty
questionnaires were analyzed. Results indicate that the
majority of psychology departments lacked complete
affirmative action policies, and many lacked other specific
requirements for ensuring participation by women. In spite
of some deterrents to full equality, including a salary
differential favoring men, it appears that women are being
hired in proportion to their representation in the
psychology labor force. Differences in male and female
applicants that may favor the hiring of male faculty were
found to be few. (French abstract) (24 ref) (PsycLIT
