| 520 | |a The paper offers this basic proposition: The higher the social insulation of professional organizations, the higher the professional autonomy within them--and vice versa. Essentially the paper offers an interconnected set of propositions dealing with environmental pressures on the autonomy of college/university faculties coupled with a discussion of the coping strategies that faculties make when threatened. Some of the propositions are: 1) the greater the external control over resources, the lower the professional autonomy; 2) the lower the professionals' control over client characteristics, the lower the professional autonomy; and, 3) the more the school and its significant environment tend to be in harmony, the greater the professional autonomy of the faculty, and vice versa. The author proposes that much can be learned about the autonomy and organization of the academic profession by examining the relation of professionals to their environment, instead of focusing on the internal nature of the profession itself or on the academic institution. If this is correct, much of the variation in the internal operation and structure of colleges/universities ought to be predictable from a knowledge of their relations with their outside environment.
