Traditional faculty evaluations often prioritize metrics such as teaching, research, and service, and may fail to adequately recognize and reward faculty contributions that directly advance specific institutional priorities. This paper aims at bridging this gap by proposing a novel framework that introduces the concept of worth as an additional measure. The paper explores the implementation of this integrated approach for engineering and science faculty at a private university, utilizing bibliometrics, strategic contributions, and analyses of faculty perceptions across factors like gender, age, rank, and field. The findings underscore the need to balance merit and value, offering a more comprehensive reflection of faculty contributions within specific institutional contexts.
