| Abstract | This study sought to identify those factors which increase a faculty member's satisfaction with, and desire to remain at, his or her institution of higher education when presented with a competing job offer. Tenured, tenure-stream, and specialist faculty (N=2,051) at a research university were surveyed. Participants were asked to rate: (1) their degree of satisfaction with each of 31 aspects of the job and (2) the importance of each of 44 factors in deciding to leave the university. In addition, 25 faculty who had received recent external job offers were interviewed regarding their decision making process as were nine department chairpersons who had discussed such external job offers with a faculty member. Six issues were identified as being factors in job satisfaction of which the most important in a decision to remain or leave were those having to do with colleagues and recognition. Two areas of involvement by the department chairperson were identified as being of critical importance for faculty retention. First, the creation of a positive climate in the department and, second, the response of the chairperson to a faculty member's announcement of a job offer (faculty members wish to be told they are valued and that every effort will be made to retain them). An appendix charts the factor loadings for both job satisfaction and reasons for leaving the university. Contains 26 references. (DB) |
