Abstract
This paper aims to investigate relationships among nine institutional quality dimensions in order to identify the effect of each quality dimension on the others in an institutional evaluation. The relationships between 9 quality dimensions in 78 institutional evaluations are explored quantitatively using the Pearson correlation matrix. The results show that teaching quality dimensions are interrelated, as are research dimensions, suggesting a clear separation between the teaching and research characteristics of institutions, nationally. However, the analysis points out that full-time faculty adequacy is a good predictor of quality of both teaching and research. Findings of this study contribute to the evaluation of the institutional teaching and research nexus as well as to the discussion on the role of peer review in external quality evaluation schemes.
