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.

Contrary to popular opinion, college and university faculty often experience a greater amount of stress than professionals in many other occupations. Faculty Stress takes a comprehensive look at faculty stress, its causes, and its consequences. This unique book explores the wide range of factors associated with work-related stress, the sources and perceptions of stress in differing academic environments, and the importance of gender factors in understanding and dealing with work stress in academia. Respected authorities discuss quantitative and qualitative research, case studies, and provide helpful policy recommendations. As higher education rapidly changes, the importance of understanding and effectively dealing with the stress that faculty endures increases. Faculty Stress explores in detail how change affects work and personal lives of faculty. This revealing book is crucial for current faculty and administrators who want to understand and effectively deal with stress, as well as future faculty who need to know how to better prepare for the rigors of their college and university academic profession. Faculty Stress is a valuable resource for faculty, higher education administrators, graduate students who intend to become faculty, librarians, higher education scholars, and scholars who study work and occupations. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment.

This text responds to the growing need for speech-language pathologists in school settings by asking how factors including people, work, pay, opportunities for promotion, and supervision impact the overall job satisfaction of school-based speech-language pathologists. Drawing on data from a quantitative study conducted in schools in the US, the text foregrounds the experiences and perspectives of speech-language pathologists working in the public school sector, and illustrates the critical role of effective and supportive educational leadership and administration in ensuring effective recruitment, retention, and job satisfaction amongst these much needed professionals. The text highlights growing responsibilities of speech-language pathologists in schools and considers recruitment and challenges in the sector can be remedied by greater understanding of how job satisfaction relates to speech-language pathologists’ experiences and perspectives on pay, work, opportunities for promotion, and support from a supervisor. This short text is aimed at researchers, scholars, and administrators in meeting the growing needs of children and students with speech and language difficulties in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary education settings . The text will be particularly valuable for school leaders looking to support speech-language pathologists in their setting.
