The research presented in this Case Study examines adjunct faculty satisfaction at an online public institution of higher education. Specifically, I analyzed student-, individual-, and institution-related factors of faculty satisfaction based on a previously constructed survey instrument found in the literature. While carrying out the research, from survey deployment through quantitative analysis, I learned some insightful lessons about the intricacies of survey research. Several practical obstacles of note included how and whether to modify the survey instrument, how to code responses, survey deployment, and informed consent. I also faced both successes and challenges in confirming the reliability of my modified survey instrument. This Case Study informs readers of potential items to consider when conducting quantitative survey research studies. [This content is provided in the format of an e-book.]
