Abstract
University reform has impacted differently on faculty, depending on gender. Male faculty members have been shown to engage positively in research to obtain research funding and greater results, and have less awareness of the crisis within undergraduate education than female faculty members. They are also concerned with future promotions and financial issues such as salaries, and are characteristically dissatisfied. In contrast, female faculty members struggle to strike a balance between dealing with the increased demand for undergraduate education and the effort required to research. Therefore, it is surmised that endeavors to strengthen the inclination of women towards research, so that their research activities are on a par with those of male counterparts, will also increase their stress. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
