Abstract

Faculty who are new to the organization may undergo a period of adjustment that may bring them to positive or negative experiences. This study explored the experiences of the newly-hired faculty in the university with the end to acquire an in-depth and profound understanding of these experiences. It involved eight purposively chosen faculty in a semi-structured interview and focus group discussion which was documented in voice and video recorders. Using Colaizzi’s 7 step-approach to data analysis, results revealed three paradoxical themes: the joys and struggles of teaching; successes and pains of learning; and the privileges and challenges of serving. On one hand, the joys and struggles of teaching were brought about by their adjustments in instruction. On the other hand, successes and pains of learning centered on professional growth. Finally, the privileges and challenges of serving incorporated the experiences in research, production and extension. Generally, these teachers have experienced ups and downs in their first two years of teaching at a higher education institution.
