Findings for UAB Climate Survey

The ADVANCE Work Life Satisfaction Outcomes Survey was administered as part of the evaluation of the ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant during the spring of 2007. The purpose of the survey was to capture the perceptions of participants regarding work life satisfaction outcomes at The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

During December of 2007 through February of 2008, a survey on work climate was distributed to faculty members in the Schools of Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics.  The purpose of this survey was to better understand the perceptions of faculty members about the recruitment and retention efforts of female faculty, the adequacy of resources and support, the usage of family friendly and ADVANCE sponsored programs, and the perception of promotion and tenure processes in their schools.
