ACADEMIC EMPLOYMENT EXTERNALIZATION

The growth of part-time and off tenure track full
time faculty employment in USA higher education
institutions since 1970s has been paralleled by the
increasing literature on the subject. Many of the
studies remain descriptive in nature and focus on
the characteristics of the contingent employees. The
present study contributes to a small body of
literature that searches for the organizational and
environmental driving factors that bring contingent
employment to life.
