Abstract
Koch and Chizmar examine the determinants of both the absolute salary levels and recent salary increments of 229 professors in 16 departments at Illinois State, considering such variables as experience, scholarly output, teaching, administration, race, sex, committee work, degrees held, and the influence of outside market demand. Allowance is made for possible differences among disciplines in rewarding faculty members. A conventional multiple linear regression model is used. Academic rank and the number of years in possession of the doctorate were found to be the most significant determinants of absolute salary levels, while 71 percent of the variance in salary increments were explained by merit performance variables. Teaching competence was found to be of great importance.
