This paper, based on a sample of 509 faculty members, examines the effects of institutional prestige and professional prestige on loyalty to the institution. It is found that those with high institutional prestige and those with low professional prestige are more loyal than their counterparts, and that those with a combination of high institutional prestige and low professional prestige are the most loyal while those with low institutional prestige and high professional prestige are the least loyal. Attitudes toward economic conditions or colleagues do not differentiate the loyal from the disloyal, but feelings about integration in university life and the hope of finding conditions more favorable for research elsewhere do. Lionel S. Lewis is an assistant professor of sociology at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
