“…It is important to note that we consciously chose to make no distinctions during Biology FEST between tenured/tenure-track and non–tenure track faculty. As adjunct faculty in general often feel isolated from their departmental communities and in need of professional development opportunities, we sought to include non–tenure track faculty as equal peers ( Eagan et al. , 2015 ).…”

“…Nonetheless, when geropsychologists are interested in part-time teaching, they are often hired in adjunct positions where reimbursement seems not worth the extra time to commit in addition to their full-time job. Unlike tenure-track faculty members, adjunct faculty and lecturers do not have the same job security, salary, or benefits (Eagan, Jaeger, & Grantham, 2015). …”

Geropsychology is a vibrant field of scientific study, pedagogy, and clinical practice, and the need for more geropsychologists will only expand as the population ages. This study involved in-depth, semi-structured telephone interviews with 30 clinical geropsychologists about their training and current work. Qualitative coding of interviews was undertaken using an inductive coding approach. Results revealed four major themes: factors influencing entry into the field of geropsychology, the rewards of being a geropsychologist, competing demands on time and money, and barriers to involvement in leadership. These results suggest some possible points of intervention to attract people to the field of aging and promote their professional development and success.

“…Institutional support included respondents' perceptions of the sufficiency of available university resources. Previous work (Eagan et al, 2015) using an NTT faculty sample, showed lack of office space to be related to job dissatisfaction. In a qualitative study of 104 part-time NTT faculty, lack of clerical/technical support and office space emerged as a theme for part-time NTT faculty (Kezar, 2013a).…”

Full-time non-tenure track faculty, commonly referred to as NTT faculty, are increasingly utilized in higher education and shoulder much of the teaching load within academic institutions. Self-determination theory (SDT) has shown promise as a conceptual frame for characterizing the relationship between environmental support factors and NTT faculty satisfaction. Full-time NTT faculty were sampled nationwide ( N = 3,527) to investigate an SDT-based model positing basic psychological needs (i.e., volitional autonomy and relatedness) as mediators between six environmental support indices and NTT faculty satisfaction (i.e., teaching/service and global satisfaction). Structural equation model results showed volitional autonomy and relatedness fully mediated the relationships between the six environmental supports and both indices of faculty satisfaction. Results highlight the utility of basic psychological needs in understanding the relationships between the environment and NTT faculty satisfaction. Implications, future directions, and limitations are also presented.
