Work Satisfaction and Stress in the First and Third Year of Academic Appointment.

Olsen, Deborah

Journal of Higher Education, v64 n4 p453-71 Jul-Aug 1993

Newly hired tenure-track faculty were interviewed in their first (n=52) and third (n=47) years. Findings indicated a decrease in job satisfaction and increase in job-related stress. Factors driving stress and satisfaction varied over time. It is concluded that understanding faculty needs can enhance faculty development efforts at this critical stage. (Author/MSE)
