Lee, Miller, Kippenbrock, Rosen, and Emory (2017) explored job satisfaction and intent to stay in nursing academia. Their study highlights the importance of good leadership as the key to retaining nursing faculty members.…”

Aim To better understand occupational stress faced by nurse academics. Methods A mixed‐methods systematic review, following the Joanna Briggs Institute [JBI], (Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers’ Manual: 2014 edition, 2014) process. Studies were assessed for quality and risk of bias by using standardised critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute. In addition, processes and reporting were checked against the Equator guidelines. See Appendix S1. Results The review revealed that nursing academics do experience occupational stress, including burnout. Occupational stress for academic nurses is associated with various factors including work–life balance, workload issues, resources and support, and adapting to change. However, much of the literature focuses on nurses during the initial transition from clinical to academic environment, with rather less focus on established mid‐to‐late career nurse academics. Discussion Occupational stress and burnout are evident in the university academic workforce, adversely affecting the well‐being of academic nurses, and the long‐term sustainability of the academic nursing workforce. While there is considerable literature focusing on the novice academic nurse, particularly during the transition period, rather less is known about occupational stress among academic nurses across the career trajectory. Various strategies to deal with the negative consequences of occupational stress are identified, including (a) quality mentors for novice and younger nursing academics; (b) training in resilience building for novice academics; (c) supporting collegial relationships and reducing bullying; (d) assistance for professional development and research; (e) better support and resources to overcome increasing workloads; and (f) greater work‐related empowerment to enhance job satisfaction. Conclusion There is a need for a broader whole‐of‐career research focus to more fully identify, explore and mitigate the occupational stressors that negatively affect the academic nurse workforce. Relevance to clinical practice A strong and resilient academic nurse workforce is essential for the sustainability of the profession. Organisations should review their work practices and provide greater work‐related empowerment to reduce occupational stressors among nursing academics.

“…New nursing faculty often receive little to no preparation and orientation to the role, and are not adept in managing their teaching, service, scholarship and other responsibilities, which result in the faculty member experiencing role conflict and ambiguity (Bittner & Bechtel, 2017). In other instances, early career nurse educators may become overwhelmed attempting to manage these multiple and simultaneous professional responsibilities while also attempting to attend to their own personal commitments resulting in role strain and threats to their long-term well-being, which reduces their satisfaction and intent to stay in academia (Lee et al, 2017).…”

Background: Strong nursing faculty is paramount to promote disciplinary leadership and to prepare future nurses for practice. Our understanding of the factors associated with or predictive of nurse faculty retention and/or turnover is lacking. Purpose: The aim of this review is to identify and synthesize the existing literature on factors contributing to nurse faculty shortage in Canada and implications on nursing practice. Methods: A scoping review based on the Arskey and O’Malley’s five stage framework for scoping reviews was undertaken. Utilising the PRISMA protocol, a comprehensive and structured literature search was conducted in five databases of studies published in English.Findings: Limited through search inclusion and relevance of research, nine studies out of 220 papers met the criteria for this review and were thematically analyzed. Identified themes were: supply versus demand; employment conditions; organizational support; and personal factors.Discussion: Impending retirement of faculty, unsupportive leadership, and stressful work environments were frequently reported as significant contributing factors to the faculty shortage.Conclusions: This scoping review provide insights into how Canada’s schools of nursing could engage in grounded efforts to lessen nursing faculty shortage, both nationally and globally. We identified a gap in the literature that indicates that foundational work is needed to create context-specific solutions. The limited studies published in Canada suggests that this is a critical area for future research and funding.

“…Studies show that job satisfaction is correlated with a number of factors including: institutional leadership (Kerdngern and Thanitbenjasith, 2017; Lee et al, 2017); organizational commitment (Cantarelli et al, 2016; Saridakis et al, 2018); trust (Cantarelli et al, 2016); self-confidence (Rajender et al, 2017); performance appraisals (Kampkotter, 2017); income (Gazioglu and Tansel, 2006); promotions (Kosteas, 2011); performance goal orientation (Baek-Kyoo and Park, 2010); ethical climate (Schwepker, 2001); and access to internet technology (Castellacci and Vinas-Bardolet, 2019). In sum, job satisfaction tends to be shaped more by factors in the work environment than by the personal characteristics of the employee (Johnson, 2012).…”

Law enforcement is a career that offers long-term employment; however, not everyone who enters the profession stays until they retire. Because the costs of employing a police officer can be significant to both the organization and the individual seeking to pursue and maintain a career in law enforcement, identifying ways to reduce police turnover is important. This study captures the experiences of officers who left prematurely, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, to help identify what agencies can do to keep officers long term. Data for this exploratory study was gathered via semi-structured interviews with 36 former police officers. The findings highlighted several common themes that law enforcement agencies could address, including: leadership training, clear and transparent processes, permanent light-duty assignments, shift flexibility, improved morale, and more focus on personal wellness.
