Abstract

This paper describes the development, implementation, and preliminary evaluation of a research colloquium series for adjunct faculty teaching in a doctoral program offered through the online campus of a midsized university. The study described here provides an analysis of the impact of participation in the newly developed colloquium series on faculty work engagement and related constructs. Focus groups were employed, to identify relevant themes pertaining to engagement. Findings are discussed in the context of Self-Determination Theory.
