Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the relation between feelings to work of junior staff engaged in Faculty Development (FD) and cooperation with other departments, as well as the relation between feelings and future carrier prospects. The questionnaire was composed of the question items that asked "What is the most difficult FD work? (free description)" "Do you feel anxiety in FD work? (1=never 〜 5=always)", "Do you feel your FD work is meaningful? (1=never 〜 5=always)", "Do you feel your cooperation with other departments is satisfactory? (1=never 〜 5=always)", and "Do you feel your current FD work is contributing to your future carrier prospects? (1=never 〜 5=always)". The major findings of this study were as follows: (1) The level of work meaningfulness felt by members who belong to the FD center is stronger than the level felt by members who belong to the FD committee, (2) The level of work meaningfulness felt by senior representatives is stronger than the level felt by junior faculty members, (3) There is a positive correlation between work meaningfulness and inter-departmental cooperation as well as work meaningfulness and future carrier prospects felt by members who belong to the FD committee, (4) There is a positive correlation between work meaningfulness and future carrier prospects felt by members who belong to the FD center. As for administration staff, we found no correlations between the categories investigated above.
