This book was released on 2020 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine the job satisfaction levels of adjunct and full-time faculty at community colleges in Arkansas. The study used Herzberg's Motivation/Hygiene theory as a framework for understanding job satisfaction and factors that lead to job satisfaction/dissatisfaction. The study also examined the difference in overall job satisfaction between adjunct faculty and full-time faculty. The findings of this study support Herzberg's Motivation/Hygiene theory. Subsequent findings showed that adjuncts are generally more satisfied with their job than their full-time counterparts. The findings of the analyses also identified key components or factors that contribute to the overall job satisfaction of full-time and adjunct faculty members. The research findings should help education leaders to improve the working conditions for faculty at community colleges and help improve the overall job satisfaction of both groups.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to survey the levels of job satisfaction among fulltime faculty members at a selected Mississippi community college using the constructs of Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory as defined by Wood (1973). The researcher used Wood’s 1976 refined Faculty Job Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction Scale to discover the participants’ levels of total job satisfaction; to discover the participants’ levels of overall job satisfaction; to compare the means of total job satisfaction factors to the mean of total job satisfaction; and to examine the correlation of the faculty’s mean responses to the total job satisfaction individual questions to the mean of the overall job satisfaction. The target population of this study was all full-time faculty at a Mississippi community college. The population consisted of 152 full-time faculty members. The findings of the survey indicated that the 85 participants were moderately satisfied with their jobs. The survey was designed to incorporate 2 treatments to ask the respondents to answer questions about job satisfaction. The participants chose a higher value on the Likert scale when asked the single question relating to overall job satisfaction. When the information was broken down into factors, the participants rated their job satisfaction lower. The Wilcoxon results stated the 2 treatments were significant at alpha level .05, and the null hypothesis was rejected, meaning there was a difference in the responses with two treatments of surveying respondents.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative causal comparative research study, guided by Herzberg's (1964) Two Factor Theory of Motivation, and conducted with 106 online adjunct faculty members teaching at a community college in a Southeastern state, examined the effects of four types of professional development (PD) training for online instruction (i.e., fully online, fully face-to-face, blended [online and face-to-face], and none) on online adjunct faculty members' levels of motivation and hygiene job satisfaction. Data were analyzed using two one-way MANCOVAs. The first one-way MANCOVA addressed the first research question, which inquired if there were significant differences across online instruction PD training groups on the motivation job satisfaction factors of general job satisfaction, recognition, and autonomy, controlling for online instruction self-efficacy and age. The second one-way MANCOVA addressed the second research question, which queried if there were significant differences across PD training groups on the hygiene job satisfaction factors of faculty support, salary, and teaching schedule, controlling for online instruction self-efficacy. Results from the first one-way MANCOVA showed that participants in the four online instruction PD training groups did not have significantly different levels of general job satisfaction, recognition and autonomy. Results from the second one-way MANCOVA were significant. Participants in the entirely online PD training group had a significantly lower mean faculty support score than did participants in the blended PD training group. Participants who had not received PD training for online instruction had a significantly lower mean teaching schedule score than did participants in the other three PD training groups.

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: Adjunct faculty have become a significant part of the collegiate workforce in times of financial constraints; however, they are not supported like their full-time counterparts and have lower career and job satisfaction. Some institutions have responded to the increase in dependence on adjuncts by developing support systems in the form of teaching and learning centers. This phenomenological case study’s purpose was to explore the lived experiences of adjunct faculty using a center for teaching and learning (CTL) and explore the impacts the CTL has on adjunct job satisfaction. A purposive sample of six adjunct faculty, two CTL leaders, and one American Association of Community Colleges leader participated in in-depth interviews recorded through Zoom. The collected data were transcribed and used to construct four major themes and six subthemes through the processes of using in vivo coding, initial coding, and descriptive coding. The major themes included the CTL practices, inclusiveness, confidence, and satisfaction. The findings from this study imply that factors which enhance job satisfaction are totally distinct from those associated with job dissatisfaction; the presence of certain job attributes (motivators) lead to satisfaction, and the presence of hygiene factors, such as working conditions, prevents dissatisfaction. Overall, the results of this study could encourage institutions’ administrators to refine certain features within the CTL to manage adjunct faculty’s job satisfaction.

Walker and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges have become increasingly reliant on adjunct faculty members to deliver content to their students. The impact adjunct faculty members have on the success of community college students is profound. Researchers found students taught by part-time faculty had less favorable outcomes in terms of persistence, completion, and transfer. Improvement of working conditions for community college adjunct faculty is imperative, as student success may be contingent on these improvements. Researchers have found job satisfaction to be related to performance, effectiveness, and other outcomes. Presumably, adjunct faculty members who are more satisfied with their jobs will have higher performance outcomes. Thus, understanding the level of job satisfaction and the role of leadership styles thereof can have a lasting impact on the success of students. There is a gap in the literature on job satisfaction and the role of leadership styles on job satisfaction of community adjunct faculty. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study was to examine the relationship between the leadership style employed by the academic team leader and the job satisfaction of community college adjunct faculty members.
