comparing their work to that of their peers, or positional titles and milestones they had set for themselves.
In the literature this is referred to as an expectation gap, where staff have set expectations in the pre-joining
stages of employment that are unmet resulting in lowered organizational commitment and dissatisfaction.
Within the HESA field and graduate preparation programs my recommendations deal with the practical
professional socialization that occurs - or is rather lacking in these spaces. Previous research on the topic
of workforce preparation also revealed that graduate programs may address competencies and mastery of
coursework but failed to involve the ways in which staff navigate organizations and their workplaces. This
could involve HESA administrations serving as guest speakers for courses, preparing a job search assistance
program, or intentionally collaborating with the HESA division at the institution. The larger the gap between
preparation and administration in HESA, the greater the misalignment between what we are teaching and
how we are socializing graduate students and new professionals.
Author's note: since receiving this honor at the SEAHO Annual Conference, I have successfully defended my
dissertation and all revisions accepted. I will be walking the stage in May 2024 to complete the PhD journey.
The full dissertation will be searchable in the LSU Scholarly Repository beginning May 15, 2024
