RESEARCH TITLE:

The relationship between career plateaus and the career stages of UKZN academics.

DETAILS OF THE RESEARCH:

The research aims to ascertain whether academics are plateaued structurally in terms of movement in the university; through the unchanging content of their work; through academic (job) skills and or personally (where academia dominates all aspects of an academic’s existence to the exclusion of any other activity) at a particular stage of their academic career. Career plateaus are normally associated with the maintenance career stage however due to the challenges in the academic environment, academics are plateauing at different stages. Career stages refer to the different phases (exploration, establishment, maintenance or disengagement) of a person’s working life. The results of the study will prompt measures to be formalised and implemented individually, institutionally and professionally to overcome the academic plateau phenomenon at the respective academic career stage.
