The level of job satisfaction and items associated with job satisfaction are examined among pharmacy faculty in the United States.
An Internet-based survey was developed and distributed via e-mail to randomly selected faculty. The survey questionnaire was developed based on items used in previous surveys related to faculty job satisfaction and included a seven-item job satisfaction measure, satisfaction with work- and career-related items, items regarding the work environment, and demographic information. Analysis of variance and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used to analyze the relationship among variables.
Out of 1000 faculty members who received the survey, 266 responded. The mean +/- S.D. level of global job satisfaction for faculty was 3.82 +/- 0.77. Global satisfaction and salary satisfaction were associated with higher salary level (p < 0.001). Low-to-moderate levels of satisfaction were found for several work and career items. Female faculty members were less satisfied with time for family and personal needs compared with male faculty (p < 0.001). Pharmacy practice faculty members were significantly more satisfied with working in an intellectually challenging environment compared with nonpharmacy practice faculty (p < 0.001).
Although pharmacy faculty members experience moderate levels of job satisfaction, there are several work and career and work environment areas in which improvement in satisfaction is needed. Provision of competitive salaries and development of a stimulating, supportive institutional culture may increase job satisfaction and facilitate improved faculty retention.
对美国药学教师的工作满意度水平及与工作满意度相关的项目进行调查。
设计了一项基于网络的调查问卷，并通过电子邮件分发给随机抽取的教师。该调查问卷是根据以往与教师工作满意度相关的调查项目编制的，包括一项七项工作满意度量表、对与工作和职业相关项目的满意度、有关工作环境的项目以及人口统计学信息。采用方差分析和皮尔逊相关系数分析变量之间的关系。
在收到调查问卷的1000名教师中，有266人做出了回应。教师总体工作满意度的均值±标准差为3.82±0.77。总体满意度和薪资满意度与较高的薪资水平相关（p<0.001）。在几个工作和职业项目上发现了中低水平的满意度。与男性教师相比，女性教师对家庭和个人需求时间的满意度较低（p<0.001）。与非药学实践教师相比，药学实践教师对在智力上具有挑战性的环境中工作的满意度明显更高（p<0.001）。
尽管药学教师的工作满意度处于中等水平，但在几个工作、职业和工作环境方面仍需要提高满意度。提供有竞争力的薪资以及营造一个激励性、支持性的机构文化可能会提高工作满意度，并有助于提高教师留任率。
