Current teacher’s evaluation framework puts more emphasis on research, which is hard for university teachers to reach the expectation of playing diverse roles. In recent years, integrating the two tasks of “research” and “teaching” has been explored in order to achieve synergy. On the other hand, starting from the perspective of “social impact”, it is possible to use the “service” role of managing the social field to enable university teachers to expand the scope of the influence from on-campus student/school/academia to off-campus social fields and levels, in order to appropriately solve the imbalance problem among different roles and the related issues. Echoing with Aguinis, Shapiro, Antonacopoulou, & Cummings’s (2014) discourse, this paper uses the “job crafting” viewpoint (Wrzesniewski & Dutton, 2001) as the framework to review the social impact of university teachers from the perspectives of individual employee’s mission and stakeholders. This study employs qualitative biograph and case interview methods. From the research career development process of Professor Sheng-Tsung Hou at Feng Chia University, this paper exemplifies how to manage the social field from the engaged perspective and integrate the three roles of “research-teaching-service,” leading to the expanding and maximizing social impact of university teachers. |
