Structural properties and epistemic effects of scientific careers in transition to tenured professorships

Every position shows a noticeably high average of working time per week.

The people in positions with a tenure-track work longer than their corresponding people in positions without tenure-track, especially the temporary professors.

People in tenure-track spent less of their working time doing research.

Temporary professors without tenure-track spent substantially more of their working time with teaching/examinations than temporary professors with tenure-track.

Tenure-tracks increase the working time, but decrease the percentage on research.

People bordering on a tenured professorship differentiate themselves from tenured professors especially in self-government tasks.

People are more satisfied than dissatisfied with their overall situation.

Positions with tenure-track are severely more satisfied than their corresponding positions without tenure-track.

Tenured / permanent professors are the most satisfied

Indicator that (the outlook of) being tenured increases satisfaction with overall professional situation. (Possibly based on: job security; knowledge of requirements to become tenured; more support by supervisors; etc.)
