| This study examined the faculty job satisfaction of counselor education faculty members at institutions with doctoral level programs accredited by CACREP. Approximately 285 full-time faculty members at the assistant, associate, and full professor level from 40 out of 45 accredited programs received the Faculty Job Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction Scale (Wood, 1973). Seventy-one responses resulted in a return rate of 25%. The results indicated that faculty members were most satisfied with work itself, interpersonal relationships, and achievement, and least satisfied with policy and administration, supervision, and salary. These findings were similar to Oberman (2004) and were consistent across academic rank (assistant, associate, and full professors). In addition, based on Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory counselor education faculty members at all ranks were more intrinsically than extrinsically motivated. Overall, counselor educators were satisfied with their work. |
