Abstract

Considering the important role of faculty members in the fulfilment of university mission and goals, the current study is aimed at identifying indicators to develop faculty description charts in a medical university. In a survey, all the academic managers of Isfahan Medical University (including vice deans in education and research, and department heads) participated as purposeful sample (n=60), during the academic year 2008-2009. A questionnaire was developed based on the structured interview with expert in faculty member affairs which organized 48 proposed indicators of faculty in five areas. Its content and face validity was approved by expert panel. The percentage of responses to each item was calculated. According to the expert idea, items with more than 50% agreement on the necessity were proposed to be included in faculty description (37 indicators in five areas). Areas were: faculty demography (6 indicators), employment status (4 indicators), educational activities (14 indicators), research activities and capabilities (9 indicators), and administrative activities and services (4 indicators). It seems that developing a faculty description including the proposed indicators could meet at least some information needs of academic managers in decision making for faculty affairs. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
