GOAL CONGRUENCE IN THE UNIVERSITY

Abstract

This study explores the subject of goal congruence in the university by comparing faculty members and students from three academic programs: medicine, social sciences and engineering. The major findings of this study are: 1) all six groups scored higher for goal congruence on support goals than on output goals; 2) engineering student scores were the most incongruent with the current state of university goals, while medical student scores were the most congruent; and 3) the overall score for goal incongruence was medium. The implications of the findings are discussed.
