Abstract
Abstract This descriptive study was designed to assess the perception of nursing faculty regarding their work environment at a small liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest (N = 31). Results from the Moos Work Environment Scale (WES) showed real and expected scores to be congruent in seven of 10 social climate subscales. Involvement, co-worker cohesion, supervisor support, autonomy, task orientation, clarity, and innovation were rated high. Incongruities occurred in work pressure, physical comfort, and managerial control. Overall, faculty perceived a positive social climate. Findings were helpful in identifying areas of strength and weakness within an organization and provided baseline data that will serve as a foundation for future work environment studies. The WES was a useful instrument for measuring the social climate of nursing faculty in this setting.
