Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this conceptual paper is to examine multiple‐faculty identifications to propose a differentiated management system that can be effective in today's changing educational environment.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper examines multiple‐faculty identifications that faculty members have with their institution from an identity theory perspective with the objective of developing an appropriate typology of faculty members.
Findings
After assessing key faculty needs underlying each form of faculty identification within their institution, the authors develop a differentiated management model that can be used by administrators when pursuing change initiatives in their institutions.
Originality/value
The practical implementation of the proposed model can yield coherent change in institutions of higher education through the administrative efforts of building collective competency.
