- National recruitment of 177 participants from accredited nursing schools.
- Utilized validated instruments: Survey of Collegial Communication, Job Satisfaction Survey, and Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire.
Main Results:
- A significant positive correlation was found between collegiality and job satisfaction in academic settings.
- A significant negative correlation was observed between collegiality and the intent to remain in the nursing faculty role.
