| Abstract: | This study applies Kalleberg’s framework to better understand the effects of diverse demographic faculty characteristics on
dimensions of job satisfaction. We also extend his work and the work of others to explore the contextual effects of academic
disciplines on faculty job satisfaction. We find that women are consistently less satisfied than their male colleagues and
that the effect of being female varies by discipline on levels of job satisfaction. We also find race/ethnicity has mixed
effects on dimensions of job satisfaction but the effects of race/ethnicity tend to be constant across discipline. Our findings
hold important implications for those seeking to understand the experiences of college faculty from diverse demographic backgrounds. |
