Time allocation and research productivity among counseling faculty.
51 counseling and counseling psychology faculty reported their allocation of time to various work activities and the number of manuscripts accepted for publication in the previous year. There was no gender difference in productivity. Time spent on teaching and service were comparable for high and low producers, but high producers reported spending 7 more hours per week working and spent that additional time on research. High producers spent twice as much time on research while producing seven times as many publications, suggesting a more effective use of research time. High producers' suggestions for efficient management of time are presented.
