Abstract


This paper reports on the relative frequency of faculty’s publications in refereed business journals. Chi-Square analyses show significant differences on the three null hypotheses tested. Furthermore, Lambda tests (p<. 01 when refereed business journal was used as independent variable) significantly predicted an institution’s Carnegie 2000 Classification, AACSB accreditation status, and the number of coauthors appearing on a single publication. In lieu of the findings, deans and heads of departments who tie merit pay, promotions and tenure decisions to having been published in one or more of the elite journals should rethink their policies. These measures of association indicate that a caste and class exists among the business and related journals.

Keywords: Content analysis, frequency of faculty publications, AACSB, Carnegie 2000 classification
