Description

These data represent reports by candidates of their academic job offers in Information Systems for the academic year 2000-2001. A new survey will begin each academic year in September. Please feel free to browse the last few years' results at http://www.pitt.edu/~galletta/2000sals.html, http://www.pitt.edu/~galletta/1999sals.html and http://www.pitt.edu/~galletta/1998sals.html for entries and links to the data in an Excel spreadsheet plus some modest analysis of the data.

Some entries were submitted non-anonymously; please do not contact me to discover the identity of any of the entries.

Please use these data at your own risk; there is no guarantee that respondents were truthful, entered the data without error, or represent an unbiased sample of the population.

See the cautions below on importing the table into a spreadsheet.

Note

Numbers 60 through 62 seem to have been entered by the same person, entering MBA/MS as the highest degree earned. If you are the person who entered these records, please note that the PhD/DBA option might be the appropriate choice, even if you have not defended your proposal. Use as your guideline your expected status when you begin your teaching job. You can change these records all at once by filling out a fifth record and leaving everything blank except for a short note in the "Country of the offering school" field. I will provide clarification on the form.

Recommendations

For analysis, the best approach is to use Ido Millet's (Penn State Erie) Excel Pivot Table analysis tool, available above. If you choose to copy to your own spreadsheet, beware that some of the entries need to be "cleaned" (such as 2/9 for summer support needs to be translated to a dollar amount). If you still want to capture these data yourself, just click and drag all of the cells, copy to the clipboard, then paste into a spreadsheet package. This works well with Excel 97 and above (with Internet Explorer 4.01 and above); but does not work well with Netscape 4* or when using Lotus1-2-3 version 97 (even when parsing columns). You can then analyze the data by sorting by fields of interest, removing rows, computing averages, etc. One very practical approach for department heads to argue for parity is to focus only on schools with teaching loads similar to yours.

*Note: Thanks are in order for Mary Brabston and Vance Cooney. Mary helped me learn about the incompatibility between Netscape and Excel for the procedure outlined above. Vance Cooney of Xavier offers a remedy: "Since I use Netscape exclusively, I saved it as a text file then opened the saved file in Word and did some global replaces to clean it up for import. Once in a database program like Access or FileMaker Pro its cake to select by rank and/or load etc. to slice and dice the data."

Limitations

The object of interest is offers, which most likely repeats a given individual. If this concerns you, sort by the "accepted" field before using the data, then concentrate on "Have accepted" in your analysis; these will be unique individuals.

Notes

  1. The "Identity revealed" field addresses questions of trust in the data; some deans will not use anonymous data as the basis for any salary decisions. Note that the identity is revealed only to me; please do not ask me to violate my pledge of confidentiality.
  2. Salary is Base Salary (exclusive of summer support) in US $
  3. Guaranteed Summer Support is stated in US $, for the period of time shown.
  4. The "research budget" indicates amounts of discretionary spending (including travel, technology, and optional secretarial services, but not including required items such as course software, basic telephone, and copying). If not specified separately, an amount was estimated for maximum travel and technology that would reasonably be supported without special requests (or appeals).
  5. Moving support in US $ also includes any signing bonuses.
  6. Course load is an annual teaching load, stated in semester-course equivalents, defined as number of 3-credit semester courses (roughly 3 hrs/week, 15 weeks) to be taught. Thus, a 3+3 (3 fall + 3 spring = 6-course) load would be entered as 6
  7. "Public or private" indicates whether a school is perceived to be substantially public, substantially private, or mixed.
  8. Unions often have large impacts on salary, and unionized business schools are often well below market (beyond their control).
  9. School attributes such as country and region can also affect salaries.
  10. The school's highest degree granted in business administration is listed.
  11. Accreditation is listed as national, such as AACSB, regional, such as Middle States, and local, such as state or county.
