@article {1309518, title = {The role of citizenship status in intent to leave for pre-tenure faculty}, journal = {Journal of Diversity in Higher Education}, volume = {6}, number = {4}, year = {2013}, pages = {245-260}, abstract = { Using a national database, this study uses discriminant analysis to explore the role of citizenship status in determining intent to leave for pre-tenure faculty members at 4-year research universities. Of the three possible responses (intend to stay, intend to leave, and undecided), two functions emerged. The first function differentiates those who intend to stay from those who intend to leave and those who are undecided. The second function differentiates between those who intend to leave and those who are undecided. Measures of satisfaction with workplace serve as the primary indicators of function one. Race and citizenship status are the only variables significant for function two. Demographic variables, discipline, salary, and institutional variables are not significant in either function. The variables that are significant for the entire sample are similar to those significant just for non-U.S. citizen faculty. Implications of this study for institutions include attending to departmental and institutional fit, recognition of diversity among non-U.S. citizen faculty, and working toward improving various components of satisfaction. }, url = {http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2013-43360-002}, author = {Dongbin Kim and Wolf-Wendel, Lisa and Twombly, Susan B.} }
