Performance evaluations of faculty members are typically comprised of three crucial components: teaching, research, and service. The results of previous studies show the considerable importance of both the teaching and research components in promotion and (P&T) decisions. The results of these studies also reveal that research is the most important factor at many schools when it comes to P&T decisions. Teaching effectiveness is a close second. Service has typically been found to be the least impor considered in P&T decisions. Given the focus of previous research on the teaching and research components, the role of service in the P&T decisions is largely ill defined. The objective of this study is to specifically examine the use of service in P&T decisions. A survey was sent to business faculty and found that service is an important factor in P&T decisions. The service component is more important in the promotion to full professor decision than the promotion to associate professor and granting tenure decisions. In addition, the results indicate few differences in the valuation of service for certain P&T decisions based on demographic factors. These results should be of interest to faculty members as they progress and to chairs and P&T committees as they assign and evaluate service.
