Download or read book Impact of Nurse Faculty Job Stress on Job Satisfaction and Intent to Remain in Academia written by Esther O. Ampadu and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to maintain sufficient nursing faculty to meet the challenges posed by the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, schools of nursing must determine how to decrease faculty job stress, promote job satisfaction, and improve faculty retention. This dissertation’s primary aim is to examine the relationships between job stress, job satisfaction, and intent to remain in academia among nursing faculty with research focused doctoral degree (RFDD), who teach at baccalaureate level or higher. Its secondary aim is to identify predictors of these same phenomena. A tertiary aim is to test the applicability of the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model to effectively explain the nature of the relationships between job stress, job satisfaction, and intent to remain in academia among RFDD prepared nursing faculty who participated in this study. Responses from 363 nursing faculty members who met the inclusion criteria for this study were analyzed. The questionnaire used included the following components: Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) which measured job stress, Job In General (JIG) which measured job satisfaction, Job Descriptive Index (JDI) which measured faculty satisfaction with coworkers, present job, pay, promotion and supervision, and a single question on intent to remain in academia (IRA). Forty-seven percent of faculty reported job stress, 92% (n=326) reported job satisfaction, and 81% (n=275) reported intent to remain in academia. Statistical analysis indicated that demographic factors, such as age, gender, and years as faculty, did not influence job stress, but level of formal education and number of hours worked on the job were influential factors of job stress. A logistic regression showed that job satisfaction was a significant predictor of intent to remain in academia. Job satisfaction also mediated the relationship between intent to remain in academia and job stress. This study indicates that although nursing faculty did report job stress, they also reported job satisfaction and intent to remain in academia.
Download or read book Part Time Nursing Faculty As Defined by Boyer s Model of Scholarship written by Constance Creech and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expansion of part-time faculty in academia demonstrates a need for research in this area. The purpose was to identify the roles of part-time faculty in baccalaureate nursing programs in the Midwest using Boyer s model of scholarship. The population included 518 nursing faculty and administrators from 25 colleges and universities in Ohio and Michigan with similar Carnegie classifications. 234 of the mailed surveys were voluntarily returned for a response rate of 45.2%. Major findings included: The service and teaching roles were reported at higher levels than the research and integration domains for part-time faculty. Part-time faculty with more years of teaching experience, higher education levels, and older age had higher levels of research, teaching, service and integration. Higher ranking part-time faculty reported more research and integration, but not service or teaching. Part-time faculty research activities were found to be higher than the level reported in the literature in this study. Part-time faculty in selected institutions in the Midwest were found to have a broader role in academia than thought previously.

Download or read book The effects of academic job experiences and perceptions of novice nursing faculty on nursing faculty retention written by Angela Jupiter-McCon and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The transition from the bedside to the classroom can be a difficult experience for novice nursing faculty. Because novice nursing faculty members often have limited educational preparation in classroom instruction skills, the transition can be chaotic and filled with unexpected issues. The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions of novice nursing faculty within their first three years of academia and how those perceptions affect retention. Qualitative phenomenological research was conducted to explore the perceptions of the novice nursing faculty after assumption of the teaching role. Participant inclusion for this study was limited to novice nursing faculty members in the Southern Coastal Region with three years or less experience. Lived experiences were described using open-ended interviews which provided the opportunity for narratives that shared experiences of the transition process from clinician to nursing educator. Several key themes were revealed. The findings suggested perceptions of job satisfaction, workload, guidance, salary, and collegiality affect retention"-- Abstract from thesis.
