Health administration (HA) faculty members publish in a variety of journals, including journals focused on management, economics, policy, and information technology. HA faculty members are evaluated on the basis of the quality and quantity of their journal publications. However, it is unclear how perceptions of these journals vary by subdiscipline, department leadership role, or faculty rank. It is also not clear how perceptions of journals may have changed over the past decade since the last evaluation of journal rankings in the field was published. The purpose of the current study is to examine how respondents rank journals in the field of HA, as well as the variation in perception by academic rank, department leadership status, and area of expertise. Data were drawn from a survey of HA faculty members at U.S. universities, which was completed in 2012. Different journal ranking patterns were noted for faculty members of different subdisciplines. The health management-oriented journals (Health Care Management Review and Journal of Healthcare Management) were ranked higher than in previous research, suggesting that journal ranking perceptions may have changed over the intervening decade. Few differences in perceptions were noted by academic rank, but we found that department chairs were more likely than others to select Health Affairs in their top three most prestigious journals (β = 0.768; p < .01). Perceived journal prestige varied between a department chair and untenured faculty in different disciplines, and this perceived difference could have implications for promotion and tenure decisions.
卫生管理（HA）领域的教员在各类期刊上发表文章，包括专注于管理、经济学、政策和信息技术的期刊。HA教员的评估基于其期刊发表文章的质量和数量。然而，目前尚不清楚这些期刊在不同子学科、系领导角色或教员职级方面的认知差异情况。同样不清楚自该领域上次期刊排名评估公布以来，在过去十年中对期刊的认知可能发生了怎样的变化。本研究的目的是考察受访者如何对HA领域的期刊进行排名，以及不同学术职级、系领导地位和专业领域的认知差异。数据来自于2012年完成的一项对美国大学HA教员的调查。不同子学科的教员呈现出不同的期刊排名模式。以健康管理为导向的期刊（《医疗保健管理评论》和《医疗保健管理杂志》）的排名比之前的研究更高，这表明在这十年间对期刊排名的认知可能发生了变化。按学术职级来看，认知差异不大，但我们发现系主任比其他人更有可能将《健康事务》选为他们认为最具声望的前三本期刊之一（β = 0.768；p < 0.01）。不同学科中，系主任和非终身教职教员对期刊声望的认知存在差异，这种认知差异可能会对晋升和终身教职决定产生影响。
