Abstract:
:The aims of this study were to evaluate U.S. and Canadian orthodontic faculty members' degree of job satisfaction and to assess the relationship between job satisfaction and factors such as full-time/part-time status, tenure status, age, and teaching training. This information is needed to set long-term goals for improving the recruitment and retention of full-time and part-time faculty. In August 2016, all members of the Council on Orthodontic Education Society of Educators and faculty members of the American Association of Orthodontists were invited via email to participate in a 34-question survey, which collected demographic data and asked respondents to report their degree of satisfaction on seven factors. Out of 645 individuals invited to participate, 133 completed all items on the survey (response rate 20.6%). The results showed that faculty time commitment, rank/position in the institution, and tenure status affected respondents' levels of satisfaction regarding quantity of clinical time, value placed on teaching by their institution and students, and leadership of their department chair. In the open-ended responses, increased compensation, more teaching time, and less administrative activity were the most frequent recommendations to improve satisfaction levels. About half (52%) of the respondents reported being satisfied with their financial compensation. Respondents whose institutions gave them training opportunities in teaching skills were 4.78 times more satisfied than those not given those opportunities. The results suggest that reduction of administrative workload, creation of meaningful faculty development programs, more feedback and sharing of information about requirements for promotion, and improvement of financial compensation could improve recruitment and retention of orthodontic educators.
