This study examined income and promotion for university faculty members in Taiwan. Gender differences were found and further research was conducted to identify reasons for the discrepancies in the academic reward system. The dissertation was based on a national sample provided by the Computer Center of the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. Data were collected through survey questionnaires and in-depth interviews with university professors and associate professors in Taiwan. A series of t-tests and chi-square tests were administered to compare background characteristics of male and female faculty members. Multiple regression analyses were implemented to determine the influence of gender on income and promotion. In-depth interviews were conducted to collect possible explanations for gender differences in the academic reward system. The major findings of this research study are as follows: (1) Compared to male faculty members, women academics tend to earn a lower total income. (2) Compared to male faculty members, women academics tend to spend a greater number of years before being advanced to the rank of professor. Women are less likely than men to reach the rank of professor and higher-level administrative positions. (3) Interviews reveal that the male faculty members tend to be less aware of gender differences and inequities in the academic reward system. (4) Social networking in academe tends to result in a higher income for male than for female faculty members. (5) A doctoral degree is more important for female faculty than their male counterparts in order to move up the academic ladder. (6) Domestic duties have more negative impacts on male income than that of females. (7) Compared to male faculty, women academics tend to be two years younger, have more highly educated fathers, raise fewer children, have mainland origins, and are more likely to remain unmarried. If married, women are more likely to have an academic spouse.Subjects--Topical Terms:
