The data were collected by mailed questionnaire. One hundred and fifty- five full time collegiate faculty participated in this study . The results showed that less than 50% of the subjects indicated active involvement in research, non-research publication, and national or international professional academic activities. The faculty's age, teaching experience, position, school, highest degree, marital status and having children were the variables found to have a significant relationship to faculty academic productivity. The significant predictors of the faculty's academic productivity were teaching experience, having children, age and faculty's working school.
