ABSTRAKT

University personnel have long wrestled with the question of why faculty leave the institution. In particular, scholars have drawn attention to the dearth of university women faculty in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines. Using a quantitative method and supplementing it with qualitative data, this study advances understanding of retention by studying attrition at an upper-Midwest land grant institution, examining differences between faculty who remained at the institution and faculty who left. We further compared these results by gender and STEM and non-STEM status. Results revealed that, not surprisingly, resigned faculty were less satisfied in the areas of Climate, Culture, and Collegiality; Policies and Procedures; and Global Satisfaction than were current faculty; resigned faculty did not differ by gender nor by non-STEM or STEM status. Current women faculty were less satisfied than current men faculty, and current non-STEM faculty were less satisfied than current STEM faculty. In the area of Policies and Procedures, an interaction effect was found for gender and STEM/non-STEM status; non-STEM women reported the lowest satisfaction and STEM women reported the highest. Implications of these results and recommendations for future investigation are offered.
