Faculty Attitudes towards Promotion at Jordanian Universities

A quantitative approach was used to explore the attitudes of 241 faculty members at public and private universities in Jordan toward promotion. The result of study revealed that by using Means and standard deviations and a two-tailed t-test, attitudes of faculty members toward promotion were in moderate level. Faculty members in Humanities discipline had positive attitudes toward promotion more than faculty members in scientific discipline. Associate professors had significantly upper attitudes toward promotion than the assistant professors or full professors. Faculty members, with 5 to 10 years of experience had significantly upper attitudes toward promotion than either the faculty members with less 5 years of experience and more 10 years of experience.
