This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the level of job satisfaction among a sample of Alabama community college faculty, particularly through the felt impact of COVID-related stressors, and when controlled by variables of faculty age, gender, race, subject discipline, and college locale. These research aims are important because while community college enrollments have increased, retaining qualified faculty continues to prove difficult amidst baby boomer retirements or faculty leaving the profession altogether. Like the Alabama teacher shortage in K-12 education, an abrupt decline has also occurred among two-year college faculty, making it vitally important to identify key sources of job satisfaction to maximize or job dissatisfaction to minimize. Using a quantitative approach, a Qualtrics survey incorporating the Wood's (1973) job satisfaction questionnaire was used to collect data on 216 full-time faculty representing seven colleges in the central region of Alabama.Respondents reported the highest level of satisfaction on the dimension the work itself with a mean score of 5.18 (SD = 0.90) and the lowest level on the dimension of policy and administration with a mean score of 3.68 (SD = 1.04). COVID work stressors, COVID-related student stressors, and COVID-motivated career change considerations significantly predicted global job satisfaction, explaining 36% of the variance. Analyses showed no direct association between differences in individual characteristics - gender, race, discipline, age, college locale - and job satisfaction. COVID, students, and administration emerged as important themes explaining job satisfaction and dissatisfaction.The evidence from this study suggests that despite the average faculty member reporting they were slightly satisfied with their job nearly three years after the pandemic's outbreak, COVID-related problems continue to be a concern for both students and faculty. The pandemic exacerbated many pre-existing issues in faculty work with regard to student unpreparedness and administrative oversight, leading to over a third of faculty in this sample considering a career change. In general, however, these results suggest that even in a time of educational budget shortfalls, cost-effective organizational changes can still be made to improve faculty morale overall, retain instructors for the long term, and improve the success of students in the Alabama community college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between selected demographic and educational variables of faculty members employed in the Alabama Community College System and their impact on job satisfaction. The variables included in the study are the demographic variables of age, gender, ethnicity, salary, and degree status, along with the institutional variables of academic ability of students, advancement in technology, faculty workload, tenure, co-worker relationship, administrative governance and support, and professional growth opportunities. This study was conducted to educate college administrators regarding faculty morale and to provide a means of communication between administrators and faculty to address faculty concerns, thus leading to a more stable learning environment for students. A survey research design was used to collect and analyze the data from faculty members at 10 community colleges within the state of Alabama. An instrument designed by the researcher entitled the Howton Community College Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey was used to collect the data using SurveyGizmo.com. The instrument was validated by a panel of experts and a pilot study determined the reliability coefficient to be .786. The data were analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics, factoral analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings of the study indicated a four scale structure for the created instrument which consisted of the following components: 1) administrative support and its affect on the personal life of faculty members; 2) obtaining tenure and the evaluation process; 3) technology in the classroom and training through professional development activities; and 4) relationship among colleagues. Results from ANOVA show that there were no between or within group differences among mean scores with regard to age, sex, ethnicity, salary, tenure status, or degree status. Examining measures of central tendencies revealed that over 20% of faculty members responded negatively with regard to satisfaction in the areas of academic ability of students, administrative support, professional development opportunities, and advancements in technology. However, 87% of faculty members responded favorably regarding their overall job satisfaction.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student enrollment in online classes has witnessed a significant growth over the past decade. Higher education institutions, in particular, rural community colleges recognize both the need and demand for online classes and have taken great strides to incorporate them into their course curriculum. However, with the growth of online courses there also comes an increase in the number of instructors teaching those online courses. Using Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory as a framework, this study was created to discover what factors are related to satisfaction of online instructors at rural community colleges. The survey used in this study was distributed electronically to faculty at 11 rural institutions in Alabama's Community College System and consisted of 31 questions that were categorized into four sections: demographics, hygiene factors (nine total), motivator factors (five total) and online instruction variables at each institution. Results from the study indicated there were four hygiene factors that were related to satisfaction of online faculty: benefits and services, supervision, physical working conditions and interpersonal relationship with peers. There were only two motivator factors listed as related to satisfaction: personal achievement and opportunities for advancement and growth. While the data collected from the demographic section did not show any statistically significant differences in the means of the varialbes in relation to job satisfaction of online instructors. Data collected via a quantitative study provided a closer look at satisfaction of online faculty at rural community colleges. Conducting this study not only added to the limited research on the topic, but also provided distance education administrators and supervisors with information needed to develop and maintain online programs at their institution.
