Co-operation and Conflict in Higher Education: Call for Participants

Co-operation and Conflict in Higher Education: Call for Participants

We are carrying out a long term Study of Interpersonal Co-operation and Conflict amongst academic staff in UK Higher Education.

The Study will investigate the ways in which synergistic (friendly/supportive) and antagonistic (hostile/undermining) relationships arise in the academic workplace. We will track the long term development of these relationships, and evaluate their positive and negative impacts upon individual effectiveness, career progression, job satisfaction and personal wellbeing.

If you are planning to commence employment as a Lecturer in the HE sector during Autumn 2006, we would be interested in talking to you about your experiences of co-operation and conflict at work. We would conduct a series of interviews, starting soon after you had taken up your new post. Any information obtained in the course of these conversations would be treated in the strictest confidence, and you would never be required to identify any colleague by name.

If you would like to participate in our Study, please contact:
