This study was an exploration of the pertinence of applying a combination of the Delphi and Cross-impact techniques in deriving analytically objective judgments of importance to the decision maker, providing an alternative to otherwise discretionary and subjective decisions. / The study focused on and examined the impact of employment policies and procedures on faculty productivity, as perceived by professors and administrators in selected public universities of the Florida State University System. In order to study the issue, Delphi and Cross-impact techniques were proposed and a panel of "experts" was selected to analyze and study the problem and achieve consensus on the subject. / The study confirmed that Delphi and Cross-impact, when combined, are useful tools for the decision makers in the educational field. It also demonstrated that some employment policies and procedures have a greater impact than others on faculty productivity. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-06, Section: A, page: 1761. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
