Salary levels were evaluated and it was determined that only the terminally-degreed assistant professor rank obtained a statistical significance of p = .01 [F(1, 17) = 8.32] when a one-way cost-of- living nationally-adjusted ANOVA test was conducted between institutions who use competitive pay against those who do not. Competitive pay funding methods included state funds/budgets, grants, tuition increases, unionization, financial reserves, and collapsing of existing open faculty positions. Applied Industrial Technology and Engineering Programs competitive pay benchmarking to organizations such as AAUP, ATMAE, and CUPA-HR were also considered important.}, month = {1}, keywords = {administration,higher education,leadership,management,research}, issn = {2166-0123}, publisher={The Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering and Iowa State University Digital Press}, journal = {Journal of Industrial Technology} }
