Title:: “Director-level Professors”: A Sociological Study on Time Management of Shuangjian Tiao Professors in Chinese Universities

Keywords:: director; professor; shuangjian tiao; sociology of time; self-identity

摘要:: 同时做好行政和学术工作，是高校“双肩挑”职位的应有之义，但也带来两难问题。本文在对8位“双肩挑”个体访谈的基础上拟合成一个典型的虚拟案例“童处长教授”，从时间社会学角度关注这样的个体如何在行政工作与学术活动的竞争中分配作为稀缺资源的时间。研究发现，在高校管理的工作量和难度双重提高的背景下，“双肩挑”个体呈现出“高行政-低学术”倾向，在学术理想与行政现实的冲突中难以保持身份的自我同一性; 在社会交往中，被受访者们自称为“处长级教授”的身份组合更容易被认可，也更有实际效用。

Abstract:: Doing administrative and academic work well at the same time is the proper meaning of the so-called shuangjian tiao(literally both shoulders carrying burdens)position in Chinese universities. But this type of double appointments has also brought about a dilemma. Based on the interviews with 8 individuals with shuangjian tiao appointments, this paper fits a typical virtual case of Professor Tong with both administrative and academic appointments(i.e., a shuangjian tiao professor), and focuses on how such individuals allocate time as scarce resources in the competition between administrative work and academic activities from the perspective of time sociology. It is found that against the background of the increase in both the workload and the difficulty in university management, individuals with shuangjian tiao appointments show a tendency of “strong administration-weak academic work” in their performance, and it is difficult for them to maintain the self-identity in the conflict between academic ideals and administrative reality. In social communication, the combined identity, referred to as “director-level professors” by the interviewees, is easier to be recognized and can bring them some practical advantages.
