In recent years, several physical therapy programs have been launched at U.S. colleges and universities to respond to the need for trained practitioners to serve an aging population. However, there is a shortage of qualified physical therapy faculty to meet the needs of students and to adhere to accreditation requirements, and limited information exists regarding what resources might promote faculty job retention. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore the perspectives of senior physical therapy faculty regarding how they had balanced their workloads throughout their career and what key resources they used that directly contributed to the longevity of their career. The conceptual framework for this basic qualitative study was grounded in Bandura's theory of self-efficacy and Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation. The research question focused on the perceptions of senior physical therapy faculty regarding workload management and what resources contributed to the longevity of their career. A self-developed interview protocol was used to gather data from nine senior physical therapy faculty in the U.S. who were selected via purposeful sampling. Data from semistructured interviews were analyzed through open coding, followed by axial coding, and then the development of emergent themes. The primary themes encompass how participants used (a) organizational strategies, (b) support, and (c) self-advocacy to balance their workload. An implication for positive social change includes the identification of strategies that stakeholders might use to support the retention of physical therapy faculty to prepare students to meet the health care needs for the patients they serve.
