Perhaps one reason is that every college and university manage the concept of faculty research differently or perhaps the role of the academic leader has not been clearly defined in higher education. A study conducted in Canada revealed that in order for faculty to embrace scholarship, four key structural factors needed to be in place: protected time, mentors, feedback and leadership support (Reader, Fornari, Simon, & Townsend, 2015). Although Boyer (1990) states that “the quality of scholarship is dependent, above all else, on the vitality of each professor, the role of the academic leader in supporting the process is paramount to success.

A famous French sociologist Emile Durkheim observed that economists believe that it is a literally essential process on the way to prosperity. They even see it as “the supreme law of human societies and the condition of their progress” (39). Durkheim believed that there are some needs that the division of labor satisfies. Maybe the most important one is that difference attracts people in some ways. People seek in others what they lack in themselves, and this leads to the true exchange of goods and services (Jones 31).
Bentham founded the principle of utility, which states that an action is right if it “produces the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.” Bentham believed good is the maximization of pleasure and the minimization of pain, and that the greatest good is the greatest pleasure that creates the less pain overall for the majority.
