Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Higher Education Studies
Workforce Psychology

Background:

Limited research exists on factors promoting nurse faculty retention in academia.
Existing studies primarily focus on reasons for faculty departure, not retention.
Nurse faculty shortages pose a significant threat to nursing education and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify key factors influencing the retention of tenured nurse faculty in academic positions.
To explore the applicability of Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory to nurse faculty retention.
To provide evidence-based recommendations for academic institutions to enhance nurse faculty retention.

Main Methods:

An online cross-sectional survey was administered nationwide to 1,171 tenured nurse faculty.
Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory provided the theoretical framework for the study.
Factor analysis was employed to analyze the survey data and identify significant retention factors.

Main Results:

Professional satisfaction emerged as the most significant factor influencing nurse faculty retention.
A strong sense of faculty identity and the opportunity to shape nursing practice were crucial components of this satisfaction.
Other motivational factors, such as recognition and opportunities for professional growth, also contributed to retention.

Conclusions:

Academic institutions should prioritize fostering professional satisfaction among nurse faculty.
Enhancing faculty identity and opportunities to influence nursing practice are critical for retention strategies.
Implementing strategies based on these findings can help mitigate nurse faculty shortages and strengthen nursing education.
