Abstract
The nursing faculty shortage challenges nursing educators, administrators, and staff to find innovative ways to understand and address faculty retention. The purpose of this study was to examine nurse educators' perceptions of workplace collegiality and the possible correlation to role satisfaction and role persistence. Participants (n = 177) were recruited nationally from a Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredited schools listing. Three survey instruments were utilized: Survey of Collegial Communication, Job Satisfaction Survey, and Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire. The study found a positive relationship between collegiality and job satisfaction in academia. The Pearson correlation results indicated there was a significant negative correlation between the intent to remain and collegiality. The findings suggest nursing educators perceive collegiality as an important component of job satisfaction and intent to remain.
