Job Satisfaction and College Faculty in Two Predominantly Black Institutions

Abstract

This report details part of a long-term study of faculty opinion about their work and occupational commitment, family, parental, and marital satisfaction, and personal life and self-esteem currently under way at the Institute of Higher Education Research and Services at The University of Alabama. The entire study includes faculty members from nine widely differing institutions of higher education in a southeastern state. Only the attitudes-toward-work portion of the study is reported here and only for those faculty members of the two predominantly black colleges in this inquiry.
