The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: which department chair are likely to leave for other institutions? How many are actually planning to leave and when? How much time do chair spend on their chair-related responsibilities and how do they view their workload? How many feel that conditions for chair are better elsewhere? How do male and female chair compare in their level of work satisfaction? In which academic fields are chair more likely to leave for other positions? How do departmental size and length of tenure served as chair impact chair satisfaction in their positions? Just a few of this 51-page report's many findings are that:?
