Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the conditions by which adjunct faculty are able to participate in leadership activities in their institutions in the hopes that more adjunct faculty involvement can be fostered for the betterment of our higher educational institutions. To this end, the study examines what avenues are available today for adjunct faculty to participate in leadership on campus, the conditions for involvement, whether and to what degree the means are being utilized by adjunct faculty, and how to better incorporate the diverse talents and experiences of adjunct faculty as effective campus leaders. Interviews were completed with 15 current adjunct faculty members during the spring semester of 2011. Six major themes emerged in this study: (1) working conditions (2) unions and union activity (3) adjunct voice and perceptions of adjuncts (4) leadership (5) motivation and (6) budget cuts and the future of adjunct teaching. This grounded theory approach seeks to understand the experiences and perceptions of exceptional adjunct leaders in their own words. The final chapter discusses the climate surrounding recent budget cuts to community colleges in California and discusses the future outlook for a body of growing adjunct faculty members.

Book excerpt: Community colleges have become increasingly reliant on adjunct faculty members to deliver content to their students. The impact adjunct faculty members have on the success of community college students is profound. Researchers found students taught by part-time faculty had less favorable outcomes in terms of persistence, completion, and transfer. Improvement of working conditions for community college adjunct faculty is imperative, as student success may be contingent on these improvements. Researchers have found job satisfaction to be related to performance, effectiveness, and other outcomes. Presumably, adjunct faculty members who are more satisfied with their jobs will have higher performance outcomes. Thus, understanding the level of job satisfaction and the role of leadership styles thereof can have a lasting impact on the success of students. There is a gap in the literature on job satisfaction and the role of leadership styles on job satisfaction of community adjunct faculty. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study was to examine the relationship between the leadership style employed by the academic team leader and the job satisfaction of community college adjunct faculty members.

Book excerpt: Studies have sounded the alarm concerning the impending void of leadership that community colleges will face in the 21st century. One concern is that the pool of applicants from the traditional leadership pathway of existing community college faculty members has decreased dramatically in the past decade. This study explored faculty perceptions of the administration positions in California community colleges and their desire and willingness to step into these roles. The study also looked at the impact of the underlying issues associated with the motivation for life-work balance on the likelihood of community college faculty to apply for administrative positions. This study was conducted through a mixed-method design involving quantitative and qualitative data collection. A survey was sent to all tenured and tenure-track faculty at community colleges in San Diego County, California. There were 341 participants who completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 22.7%. The first research question sought to explore faculty's perceptions of the administration positions at California community colleges and their desire to step into those roles. Three themes emerged in analyzing the responses of why faculty consider going into administration: (1) improve the system or college; make a difference, (2) personal growth and challenge, and (3) salary and/or benefits. In addition, five main themes emerged from reasons why faculty would not consider jumping into administration: (1) workload, stress, and lack of flexibility for family time; (2) lack of job satisfaction due to bureaucracy, incompetent colleagues, or system; (3) love of teaching and profession; (4) lack of job security; and (5) going to the "dark" side. The second research question sought to explore to what extent motivators for life-work balance affect the decision of California community college faculty to leap to administration. The motivators for life-work balance do influence the faculty in the decision to jump into administration; however, there was no significant difference between Generation X and the baby boom generation's belief in achieving the balance. The study concludes with recommendations to community college administrators, board of trustees and faculty.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to explore the leadership of community college department chairs and the job satisfaction of the faculty in community colleges. There appears to be a leadership crisis in higher education that has resulted from the complexity of the leaders' roles. The goal of this study was to investigate the leadership style of the department chairs in one community college and to research the satisfaction levels of the faculty at the community college to determine if indeed the leaders who demonstrate the characteristics of transformational leadership have followers who are more satisfied with their job. Leadership style surveys were distributed to each department chair and each faculty member on the campus and job satisfaction surveys will be distributed to each faculty member. Eight two-tailed, null hypotheses were tested at the .05 level of significance, addressing the eight research questions of the study. The Pearson correlation, two-sample t test, and ANOVA tests were used. There were non-significant correlations and outcomes that suggested directional propensities or tendencies among the variables. Although the literature indicated that higher order leadership skills such as transformational leadership should have been associated with greater job satisfaction among leaders and workers, the findings of this study did not confirm and even implied a possible reversal of the notion that transformational leadership led to greater job satisfaction. The relationship determined between leadership style and effectiveness of department chairs in a community college setting and faculty job satisfaction were an anomaly in this situation when contrasted to previous studies for other types of institutions. Faculty job satisfaction in this instance was not enhanced by department chairs practicing transformational leadership styles in the community college setting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adjunct faculty have become a significant part of the collegiate workforce in times of financial constraints; however, they are not supported like their full-time counterparts and have lower career and job satisfaction. Some institutions have responded to the increase in dependence on adjuncts by developing support systems in the form of teaching and learning centers. This phenomenological case study’s purpose was to explore the lived experiences of adjunct faculty using a center for teaching and learning (CTL) and explore the impacts the CTL has on adjunct job satisfaction. A purposive sample of six adjunct faculty, two CTL leaders, and one American Association of Community Colleges leader participated in in-depth interviews recorded through Zoom. The collected data were transcribed and used to construct four major themes and six subthemes through the processes of using in vivo coding, initial coding, and descriptive coding. The major themes included the CTL practices, inclusiveness, confidence, and satisfaction. The findings from this study imply that factors which enhance job satisfaction are totally distinct from those associated with job dissatisfaction; the presence of certain job attributes (motivators) lead to satisfaction, and the presence of hygiene factors, such as working conditions, prevents dissatisfaction. Overall, the results of this study could encourage institutions’ administrators to refine certain features within the CTL to manage adjunct faculty’s job satisfaction.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, higher education faces more social, cultural, accreditation, and funding opportunities than they have faced in the past and it is important for staff to have job satisfaction to assist the colleges to meet these opportunities. Higher education leaders are increasingly recognizing that to keep the institutions doors open financially, they must have staff that are satisfied with their jobs and thus are placing a greater emphasis on meeting the staffs’ expectations and needs. This will allow for the staff to assist with the opportunities that those in higher education are facing today. The purpose of this study was to examine quantitatively the correlation between the leadership styles of community college leaders and the satisfaction level of staff. Ultimately, this research study extended the literature that pertained to the relationship between leadership the predictive variable has on staff satisfaction the criterion variable and examined whether specific types of leadership supports staff satisfaction quantitatively at the community college level. This study was a correlation research design, using 130 participants that are employed as staff for a community college in Texas. Data was collected from two questionnaires, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5X (MLQ 5X) assessment tool developed by Avolio and Bass (2000) and a Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) developed by Spector (1985) delivered through an employee email survey portal. The study explored the relationship between the three leadership styles transformational, transactional, and passive avoidance as related to staffs’ job satisfaction and allowed the researcher to investigate relational trends to determine if there are any positive and negative associations. A one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the means and test the hypothesis. The significance level for all three leadership styles was
