abstract: 'Since the late 1980s, Australian higher education has undergone
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
significant reforms and policy changes based on economic rationalism and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
modernisation of management. This paper examines the outcomes of the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
reform processes based on the career attributes, status and perceptions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of work environment of academic accountants in Australian universities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Similarities and differences between academic accountants are explored
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from cross-institutional and gender perspectives. The data provide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
insight into a number of systemic inequalities between the older and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
more established universities and the newer universities. In specific, a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cross-institutional analysis based on four university types:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sandstones/Redbricks, Gumtrees, Unitechs and New (Marginson 1999)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
indicates that academic accountants in New universities employ a much
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lower proportion of staff with PhD qualification, a weaker publication
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
profile, and perceive greater barriers for conducting research in terms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of a shortage of research mentors, colleagues with research experience,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and post-graduate students. Further, the commitment to flexible learning
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and delivery strategies is comparatively stronger in Unitechs, and poses
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
additional demands on accounting academics'' overall workload.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perceptions of gender-based discrimination by female academic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
accountants are generally stronger than their male counterparts,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
particularly, in New universities. These results raise several issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for academic accountants at both the institutional and individual level
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in terms of equal employment opportunities, management of research
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
programmes, development of teaching strategies and individual time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
