    Hi All

    Has anybody looked at the effect of incentives systems on the nexus research/teaching? If universities pay for highly rigerous but not really relevant research then I would not wonder that teaching is often unrelated to research. As different countries apply different incentives system (e.g the German system still is very much a fixed wage system) you could maybe try to have a look whether "you get what you pay for" is a moderator?

    Thanks, Ben! "Leading Quietly" is not a book that I am familiar with; I'll have to check it out. I think we need to look at each of the personality characteristics from a both-and perspective, rather than either-or. This is especially true, I think, of the Thinking-Feeling scale on the MBTI.

    Thanks for sharing the reference!

    Good point Karl. Have you found a book called “Leading Quietly” by Joseph L. Badaracco, Jr. (HBS Press, 2002)? Really interesting perspective that shows not all leaders are charismatic/transformational types.

    Edwin, I encourage you to revisit your assumption that the majority of great teachers are extroverts. Introverts can choose, even though it is not their behavior preference, to be extroverted in their teaching. It takes more emotional energy; however, I contend that they can be equally as competent in teaching as extroverts. The same is true with leaders; introverts can be highly effective leaders. That is one of the reasons that I am not a fan of the interpretations of the 'Big Five' personality dimensions.

    There may be a good reason why studies have not shown teaching and research to be correlated: they require almost totally different skills, and, I think, different personalities. I think most great teachers tend to be extroverts. They are very good at arousing emotional entusiasm. Many great researchers tend to be introverts, although I know of exceptions. All the more reason to have great teachers teach more and get rewarded for it.

    Bård,

    Great point. The average relationship across studies can be zero (nor near zero), but this may be due to the relationship being positive in some studies and negative in others. In addition, meta-analysis is likely to tell us that moderators do not exist when in fact they might. For example, see: Aguinis, Sturman, & Pierce (2008), Comparison of three meta-analytic procedures for estimating moderating effects of categorical variables. Organizational Research Methods, 11, 9-34. This article and others related to tests of moderators are available at http://mypage.iu.edu/~haguinis/

    I hope this helps!

    --Herman.

    Great thought on reframing the question. One step further would be asking, since studies apparently show very little relationship between teaching and research, how do we go about establishing (or re-establishing) the relationship between the two?

    Different schools do reward teaching differently and I think it makes a difference. At U. Md (when I was there) below avg. teaching could stop tenure but above avg. did not help you. However, they have many teaching awards that motivate people, along with the existence of teaching professors.
