@report {1460960, title = {The Working Environment Matters: Faculty Member Job Satisfaction by Institution Type}, year = {2018}, edition = {142}, abstract = { Ongoing shifts in faculty roles and responsibilities{\textemdash}particularly the increasing use of part-time and non tenure-track positions{\textemdash}may lower faculty job satisfaction and diminish academia{\textquoteright}s appeal for highly qualified candidates. Faculty attitudes, in turn, can have concomitant effects on student learning, academic scholarship and institutional success. This study examines faculty job satisfaction across different types of institutions using data from the Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey and explores how gender, race, age and other personal factors interact with faculty expectations, experiences, and perceptions of the work environment to determine satisfaction. Although some faculty reported low job satisfaction and a few expressed enough dissatisfaction to consider leaving the profession, most full-time faculty appear satisfied with their work. Women reported lower salaries than men, but not lower overall job satisfaction. \  }, url = {https://www.tiaainstitute.org/sites/default/files/presentations/2018-03/Faculty\%20Job\%20Satisfaction_Webber_rd142_March\%202018.pdf}, author = {Karen L.
