In this study, I described three main currents of the study on sociology of professors and introduced my future vision. Especially, I pointed that interrelations and influences among higher educational system, academic productivity and mobility are very important. The aims of this article are to classify the patterns of mobility, to measure the quantity of them and to refer to the social background of them.
I, therefore, analyzed “Who's Who in Higher Education, 1978 ed. and 1979 ed.” by comparative method. The patterns of mobility can be classified into outflow and inflow mobility in higher educational system. I found that outflow mobility rate was 6.21% and inflow mobility rate 8.91% per academic year in Japanese higher education. Japanese. mobility rates were far lower than American's and other countries'. Japanese patterns of employment in higher educational system, that is, early tenure system, non-selective system and so on, might influence these rates.
On the other hand, we can classify outflow mobility into active mobility, retired mobility, and death etc., and further into mobility of inter-university and mobility of out-university. I measured each of them. Active mobility occupied 63.8%, retired mobility 34.5%, and death 1.7%, and that mobility of inter-university occupied 34.5%, mobility of out-university 74.7%. In other words, about 1, 400 Japanese professors annually. Experienced mobility of interuniversity Furthermore, I tried to analyze mobility by faculty and deciplines, locomotion, prestinge of universities. I finally, described mobility of the major universities in Japan as a case study.
