Furloughs and Faculty Management of Time: Maintaining Quality in an Economic Crisis

Pages 334-348 | Accepted 01 Jul 2012, Published online: 04 Apr 2014
 

Abstract

An anonymous Web-based survey was used to gather the perceptions and experiences from 114 faculty members teaching in 16 social work programs in the California State University system about the effect of severe budget cuts on their educational activities. Most respondents reported they worked on their furlough days and maintained the same or larger workload that they had before the furlough. Larger workloads, diminished feelings of personal accomplishment, and stressful interactions with students were associated with higher levels of emotional exhaustion. Implications of these findings are discussed.
